This spell functions like raise awoken undead, except that you are able to perfectly unite a soul with their undead form, and even restore their original body in an undead form. Requirements for raising a subject are reduced even further compared to the undead resurrection spell, and the reduced requirements are described below. The subject can have been dead no longer than 10 years per caster level.
Upon completion of the spell, the creature is immediately restored to full hit points, vigor, and health, with no loss of level (or Constitution points) or prepared spells.
Constructs, elementals, and outsiders can’t be resurrected in this manner. However, this spell is fully capable of bringing back a subject who has died of old age.
Skeleton, Revenant, Ghost, or Ghoul
This spell only requires an intact skull or head from any kind of creature to be performed. This will be replaced by a completely new undead form with the same properties as the subject's original body, with their particular undead features accounted for.
Mummy
If this spell is used to raise a mummy whose heart was destroyed, the heart will be restored without need for a replacement.
Necropolitan
This spell can raise a Necropolitan without the need for another Necropolitan skull or head as a component.
* - (Gemstones worth at least 12,500 gp, which must be placed in the eye socket (or eye sockets) of any dead creature's skull or head. Gemstones used are disintegrated in the process.)
