Materials: a shroud, blanket, or clothing item from the corpse
Duration: 7 days
Damage/Effect: Healing
You return a dead creature you touch to life, provided it died from a disease or poison and has been dead no longer than 10 days. The creature’s soul must be willing (without knowledge of what spell is resurrecting it) and able to rejoin its body. The creature returns to life with 1 hit point and can’t be healed further.
All diseases or poisons that afflicted the creature at the time of its death remain, but it suffers no further damage or penalties from them. The creature can’t be cured of these diseases and poisons, and it is immune to any future diseases or poisons that would afflict it. If the creature is infected with a contagious or transmissible disease or poison, it can continue infecting others.
When the spell ends, the creature dies again and can be restored to life only by means of a
True Resurrection or
Wish spell.
