You return a dead creature you touch to life, provided that it hasn't been dead for more than 24 hours and it didn't die of old age, or is undead. If the creature's soul is both willing and able to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point.
This spell also neutralizes any poisons and cures all diseases, normal and magical, that affected the creature at the time it died. However, this spell doesn't remove curses or similar effects. These take effect if they aren't first removed prior to casting the spell.
This spell closes all mortal wounds, but it doesn't restore missing body parts. If the creature is missing body parts or internal organs important for survival then the spell fails.
Coming back from the dead is taxing. The target takes a −2 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.
When you cast this spell as a ritual, you can't cast it in this way again until your take a long rest.
