Resurrect Undead

4-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 30 seconds

Range/Area: Touch

Components: verbal, somatic

Duration: Instantaneous

You return an undead creature you touch to life, provided that the creature’s soul is both willing and at liberty to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point. This spell closes all mortal wounds, but it doesn’t restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for its survival – its head, for instance – the spell automatically fails. Coming back from undeath is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears. Ascended Necromancy. This Spell costs 2 spell slots to cast. A 4th-level spell slot and a 3rd-level spell slot.
These spells don't count against your total number of spells known.
