"Spirit of life, return to us!"

You touch a creature that has died within the last minute. That creature returns to life with 1 HP.

The spell has no effect on Undead creatures or Constructs.

This spell can't return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it restore any missing body parts. Furthermore, the soul must be willing to enter the body for this spell to work.

Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. 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.


Variant Resurrection Rules. In order for this spell to work, the caster must succeed on a spellcasting ability check, with a DC of 10 + the number of times the target has been brought back to life. On a failed save, the diamonds are not consumed, but the spell fails and the spell slot used is still expended. The creature can still be raised to life using other resurrection spells (e.g. Raise).
