You touch a corpse that has been dead for no more than 1000 years, didn’t die of old age, and isn’t undead (once the undead is “re-killed”, casting this spell will be able to return the corpse to mortal life). If the targets soul is free, the soul returns to the body and life is restored.
This spell restores all HP, restores any missing body parts, cures all diseases, removes all curses, and leaves the target immune to physical or magical harm, exhaustion, or status effects (including positive status effects) for 1 hour.
The spell can restore life to a target against it’s will, but only with the permission of the deity of the underworld or the deity of the plane in which the soul resides.
The spell may also create a new body if the original body is missing. However, this will require the targets name to be spoken.
For 12 hours after the return to life, the target has advantage on death saves.
The diamond component may be replaced by channeling the spell through a religious item (Amulet, Talisman, Holy Symbol, etc.). However, casting the spell in this way will make the spell take 24 hours rather than 6 hours, and the spell will require 5 platinum pieces (or 50 gold pieces) to be placed in a pentagon shape on the corpses stomach area, or in a silk coin pouch to be placed inside the targets rib cage if the target is a skeleton.
Returning to life from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -6 penalty to attack rolls and ability checks until the target completes a long rest. A long rest reduces this penalty by 1 until it disappears.
* - (A diamond worth at least 30000gp, which the spell consumes)
