Gift of Life

From Stargate Wiki

"How does it feel to have your life stolen -- to be pushed so close to the darkness, only to be pulled back from the brink? From what I understand, it's a magnificent sensation."

— Wraith commander

The Gift of Life is a process in which Wraith can give life energy to others.

Overview

The Gift of Life will heal injuries and even revive people either human or Wraith. The Wraith worshippers receive the Gift of Life for their service to the Wraith which keeps them healthy and young for as long as they are needed, such a method is used in making worshippers, repeatedly draining them of life and restoring it, producing a pleasant sensation and creating a drug-like addiction to the constant stream of Wraith enzyme in their bodies, essentially brain-washing them into service. Depriving them of the Gift of Life will cause them to undergo withdrawal and if their addiction is severe enough, die. The Gift of Life can also be used to revive dead enemies for questioning.
