While Rassilon had allowed the Master to escape Gallifrey unscathed, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[CIA File Extracts (novel)|CIA File Extracts]]'') he was quickly captured by the Time Lords, who, as punishment for his failure to help the Doctor in the Death Zone, destroyed the Master's Trakenite body, reducing him to little more than a helpless phantom as they exiled him to the depths of a [[forest]]. The Master was found by [[the Master's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] after it managed to resist the Time Lords attempt to reprogram it, and it helped him to attain physicality in the form of a shadowy figure in dark robes. | |||
In an attempt to trap the Doctor and steal one of his remaining regenerations, the Master faked his own death, ensuring the Doctor would attend the funeral at the nursing home where he supposedly spent his final days. His plan was to force a regeneration out of the Doctor and steal this one life to revive himself using an arcane ritual involving twelve [[mirror]]s — but the Doctor was saved by [[Vislor Turlough]], and the Master's plan was foiled yet again. Instead, the Master found himself confronting mental projections of all his past regenerations. In a prowess of will that impressed even the Doctor, the Master was able to overpower the shades of his past selves and steal a bit of life energy from each of them, allowing him to [[regeneration|regenerate]] back into his Trakenite body.
