You concentrate on the corpse, gravestone, or image of a late creature for an hour, joined by a bonded party (friend, partner, family member, child, etc) who was trusted by the creature at the time of their death. You speak the intent of the living party into the item of sentiment, and within the hour the spirit, if willing, may appear as a semi-corporeal version of themselves in full health, at the age and appearance of their time of death.
Until the spell ends, you may see, hear, and touch the fallen creature. Creatures who understand and speak your language can conversate with you. Their touch feels colder than expected and they appear semi-translucent and outlined in a faint cyan glow, but their movements and voice remain the same as they did in life. The spectres cannot attack or cast spells, nor can they take damage or be affected by spells. They exist for one hour or until dismissed after the completion of the ritual and do not require concentration to be maintained by the caster.
* - (an item of deep sentiment between a living party and the dead, which the spell consumes.)
