Description:

As Tiamat's chosen, you channel her dark dominion over life and death to resurrect a fallen ally. When you cast this spell, you touch a creature that has died within the last minute, restoring them to life with the essence of one of the five chromatic dragons.

The creature returns to life with half its hit points, but for the duration of the spell, it is transformed into a draconic avatar, gaining temporary draconic traits based on the chromatic dragon infused into them. You may choose which dragon's essence to instill, or roll a d6 (1: Red, 2: Blue, 3: Green, 4: Black, 5: White, 6: your choice).

While transformed, the resurrected creature gains the following benefits, which last for the spell’s duration:

Draconic Traits

  • Red Dragon (Fire):

    • Fire resistance.
    • Breath Weapon (Recharge 5-6): A 15-foot cone of fire, dealing 4d6 fire damage (Dex save, half on success).
  • Blue Dragon (Lightning):

    • Lightning resistance.
    • Breath Weapon (Recharge 5-6): A 30-foot line of lightning, dealing 4d8 lightning damage (Dex save, half on success).
  • Green Dragon (Poison):

    • Poison resistance.
    • Breath Weapon (Recharge 5-6): A 15-foot cone of poison, dealing 3d6 poison damage (Con save, half on success).
  • Black Dragon (Acid):

    • Acid resistance.
    • Breath Weapon (Recharge 5-6): A 30-foot line of acid, dealing 4d8 acid damage (Dex save, half on success).
  • White Dragon (Cold):

    • Cold resistance.
    • Breath Weapon (Recharge 5-6): A 15-foot cone of cold, dealing 3d6 cold damage (Con save, half on success).

Additional Effects:

  • Draconic Might: The resurrected creature’s Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores become 18 (if they are not already higher), and they gain temporary hit points equal to your sorcerer level.
  • Elemental Fury: Whenever the resurrected creature takes damage from a spell or attack, they deal 2d6 of the damage type they embody (fire, lightning, poison, acid, or cold) to the attacker.
  • Wings of the Dragon: The resurrected creature sprouts wings, giving them a flying speed of 60 feet.

End of the Spell:

When the spell ends, the creature reverts to their original form, but retains the hit points they have gained during the resurrection. However, they suffer one level of exhaustion from the strain of the transformation.

At Higher Levels:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the resurrection restores the creature to full hit points instead of half, and the duration of the draconic transformation increases to 10 minutes.
