Death's Toll is a simple spell. Cast the spell on a plain gold or platinum coin, while whispering the targets name to the coin. The targets name appears on one side of the coin, and a skull on the other. The coin will remain in the targets possession until the targets death, natural or otherwise. In the event of the targets death, the coin flashes in a green flame, as it collects the soul of the target and contains it. Once the soul is contained, the coin returns to the caster by way of teleportation, but does not work if the coin and caster are in separate dimensions. If the coin is platinum, the caster does not need to be in the presence of the target, and the coin will teleport to the target.
The coin, regardless of precious metal, as long as the target is dead, can be used to willingly resurrect a being. Upon a resurrection, the coin will flash with green flames, and vanish from existence.
Target cannot be Large or Gargantuan creatures.
