Casting Time: 1 Minute

Range/Area: Touch

Components: V, S

You call upon ancestral spirits to return life to a fallen creature. Touch a creature that has died within the last 10 minutes. If the creature’s soul is willing and able to return, it returns to life with hit points equal to half its hit point maximum and suffers one level of exhaustion. This spell cannot return a creature to life if it died of old age, if its body is missing vital organs, or if its body has been destroyed, turned to ash, or otherwise made unable to sustain life. This spell does not remove curses, diseases, poisons, or magical effects that were affecting the creature when it died unless those effects would no longer apply after death.
