Reincarnation, in Populous is a term used to describe the rebirth of your shaman. In Populous, if the shaman is killed, but she has followers who have survived, she will be reincarnated at her Reincarnation Site (if one exists). For multiplayer levels where the shaman starts the game trapped in a prison, the shaman will start in the same location as the destroyed prison, regardless of what is built on the location.
In the process of reincarnating, the shaman expels a ring of magic around her that expands to the edges of the reincarnation site. This ring will burn all wood in its range, and irritates enemy followers in the same way as Swarm. The land around will also be flattened to the same height as the shaman, and created if it is under water.
Religious Reference
The concept of Reincarnation comes from many polytheistic religions throughout the world. The two most commonly known religions containing the term are Hinduism and Buddhism. The terms reincarnation means "rebirth," in which a person who has died is reborn into a new caste based on their karma from their previous life. The cycle of birth, life, and death is called Samsara. Samsara only ends when the individual has reached the stage of Nirvana.
