	Actually, as the waker word for "death" is "discorporation", maybe something along the lines of "recorporated" might work better - I know the correct word would be "re''in''corporated", but I want something that sounds slightly wrong, unnatural. Also, I think "re-corp" works well as a shortened / slang form.

			I'm of the mind that "Corrupted" alone would be a better term, just because not all types of Undead(To use the original term) have to die first.

			Vampires are the first one which spring to mind, which while Undead, don't have to die to become one. Thus to say that a Vampire-inspired Undead Program in Virtual was an attempt at Restoration and was simply corrupted in the process would be mischaracturizing it.

			Or, Corrupted could be a term used for more then just Undead. It could refer to ''any'' Waker or Dreamer whose coding is degraded or changed somehow for the worse, be it from a Codeeater or another Corrupted Program.

Kernel

			I actually used it in a Vitality and Wound System, where Vitality points repersent non-consequential wounds or near misses, and Wound Points repersent more dire injuries. Thus I thought calling Vitality points "Shell" Points(To refer to it being an outer layer, and nowhere near as important as the inner functions), and Wound points "Kernel" Points(Repersenting Core Functions being messed with) was more appropriate, if used.

			I think using Kernel for the Soul is a sound idea.

	Terminal and Restored have been added to the dictionary as replacements for zombie and undead respectively, but they're both a little generic and misleading; "terminal" is more commonly used in computing terms to refer to "dumb terminals" or emulator sessions, which to my mind are closer to communication spells/rewrites. Also, Restored sounds more like the result of a "Resurrection"-style rewrite.

			Igtenio and I both came up with "corrupted" independently as a replacement for "undead". Again, it still sounds a little more generic, but it's a more close match for the actual use of the term.

			Also, Restored sounds more like the result of a "Resurrection"-style rewrite. Maybe a Corrupted Restore would be better for undead, with Restore just being used for any waker brought back to life?

 Here's a possible slang term: [http://www.sharpened.net/glossary/definition.php?phishing Phishing]. As defined, it would seem an ideal match for a waker con game; so maybe a phisher is a Program Space con-artist.
