Spell
Raise Dead
Created by BobbyxThis powerful necromantic ritual calls forth the soul of a departed creature and binds it once more to the material plane, restoring life to one who has fallen. The spell demands a corpse that remains largely whole and recognizable, as severely mutilated or fragmented remains prove too damaged to serve as an anchor for the returning spirit. The process of dragging a soul back from beyond the veil exacts a terrible price upon the resurrected, leaving them permanently weakened and diminished in capability. Those of lesser constitution, particularly individuals of iron rank or below, often lack the fortitude to survive the ritual's strain and are consumed entirely, their bodies crumbling to ash as their essence fails to reintegrate. The caster must possess considerable magical prowess to attempt this spell, and even then, success is never guaranteed. Resurrection through this magic leaves the restored individual bearing invisible scars of their journey beyond death, marked by a profound loss of vitality that lingers indefinitely.
