An angelic form appears in the air as your fallen allies rise again. Choose up to six creatures within range that have been dead for up to 1 minute. In addition, their souls must be free and willing to return or the spell fails. When you cast the spell, the creatures are immediately restored to full hit points with no loss of prepared spells. Normal poisons and normal diseases are cured in the process of raising the subject, but magical diseases and curses are not undone. While the spell closes mortal wounds and repairs lethal damage of most kinds, the bodies of the creatures to be raised must be whole. Otherwise, missing parts are still missing when the creature is brought back to life.

The dead creatures' equipment or posessions are untouched by the spell. You can revive someone who was instantaneously killed (like via a disintegrate spell) or someone who has been turned into an undead creature and then killed again. You cannot raise constructs, elementals, celestials, and fiends. When the spell ends, the targets immediately drop dead as though they have never been raised. Casting this spell in no way affects the ability of another caster to use raise dead, resurrection, or true resurrection to restore permanent life to a target.
