You touch a creature that has died for any reason except old age. If the creature's soul is free and willing, the creature is restored to life with all its hit points.
This spell closes all wounds, neutralizes any poison, cures all diseases, and lifts any curses affecting the creature when it died. The spell replaces damaged or missing organs and limbs. If the creature was undead, it is restored to its non-undead form. Upon resurrection, the creature appears shrivelled and deteriorated. The creature takes 1d6 day(s) to fully regenerate its body.
The spell can even provide a new body if the original no longer exists, in which case you must speak the creature's name. The creature then appears in an unoccupied space you choose within 10 feet of you.
The toll of this spell is great on your body. As the spell takes affect, your life force is drained from your body and given to the resurrected creature. Your life span is either reduced by half plus each year the creature has been dead, or your current age plus each year the creature has been dead; whichever is greater. If the creature has been dead for longer than your life force permits either
- The life force of multiple casters can be given to resurrect the creature
- All life force is taken and you crumble to dust. The creature is resurrected but in a weakened state of the DM's choosing.
