Become the dead

You inhabit a dead creature you touch to life, provided that it has been dead no longer than 10 days. If the creature's soul is both willing you may become the living being as well with a steeper cost however of 20% reduced hitpoints.

This spell also neutralizes any poisons and cures nonmagical diseases that affected the creature at the time it died. This spell doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, or similar effects; if these aren't first removed prior to casting the spell, they take effect when the creature returns to life. The spell can't return an undead creature to life.

This spell closes all non mortal wounds, but it doesn't restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for its survival--its head, for instance--the spell automatically fails.

The spell also changes the appearance of the creature making the skin colour dark gray and making the creature slightly translucent.
