Perhaps the greatest power of all is the ability to bring someone back from the dead. It can restore lost loves, bring solace to the grieving, and topple kingdoms.

Returning the dead to life requires a reasonably complete corpse no more than a year old. The caster then prays, meditates, chants, or otherwise concentrates on mending the body and pulling the spirit back to it for four hours.

Once done, the healer makes a casting roll at −4. If successful, the victim returns to life with three Wounds and is Exhausted. With a raise, she returns merely Exhausted.

While it is possible to return creatures to life, it is not possible to do so exactly as they were with no consequences.

The hero can raise a decade-old spirit for +5 Power Points.

The boundaries of life and death no longer matter. A caster can restore the dead to life regardless of how long the target was dead and even without a corpse. To resurrect the dead in this fashion requires a twelve-hour ritual and leaves the caster Exhausted.
