The priest calls a departed soul back into its body, restoring life to one not too long dead.

Mechanics

. Restores life to a dead humanoid (touch) who has been dead no longer than a few days per caster ; the body must be reasonably whole, the soul willing, and the revived creature must survive a system-shock-style resurrection check, losing 1 point of and needing bed rest. Reverse (slay living) attempts to kill a living touched creature ( vs. spell or die). : the holy symbol.
