Casting Time:  120 turns (10 minutes)
Difficulty:  Formidable
Type: Necromantic

Description
The caster employing this spell is able to restore life and complete strength to the person he or she bestows the resurrection upon. The person can have been dead up to 20 years cumulative per power level achieved by the caster. See Raise Dead for limitations on what persons can be raised. The material components of the spell are a religious symbol and holy water. Employment of this spell is very draining on the caster. He or she must spend a day in bed per power level of success recuperating after casting.

Resurrection is a particularly gruesome process as the tissue literally grows back during the process of casting.

Backlash
If, during casting, the spell-caster rolls a Catastrophic Failure, the resurrectee immediately comes alive.  If this happens within the first nine minutes of casting, the resurrectee dies screaming horribly, and anyone in the room with him or her must make a Formidable Sanity Check. If the Catastrophic Failure occurs during the last minute of casting the resurrectee will survive, but will be in constant pain for the rest of his life.

Background Notes
Finding a good translation of this spell is extremely difficult (otherwise the world would be overrun with resurrected dead).  Depending upon the source of the spell, the difficulty level can increase to Impossible or beyond.
