Deep Magic Volume 1

Raise Questing Dead

6-level Necromancy

Range/Area: Touch

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: a diamond worth at least 500 gp, which the spell consumes

Duration: Instant

Damage/Effect: Summoning

This spell is identical to Raise Dead, except it empowers you to impose a Geas on the creature you raise. The targeted soul can opt to decline the Geas, in which case it isn’t restored to life. If the creature accepts your Geas, it must complete the task within 30 days. If it accepts but fails to meet the conditions of the Geas, it dies on the dawn of the 31st day and its spirit again departs the mortal world. If it accomplishes the task, it’s free to live out the remainder of its restored life as it chooses.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th or 8th level, the creature has a year to fulfill its geas, allowing for much more complex demands. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the Geas lasts until it’s fulfilled, no matter how long that takes, or until it’s ended by Remove Curse, Greater Restoration, or Wish.

Available for: Cleric
