[[Ability]] Type: [[Spell]], Difficulty 18+ 
Provided By: [[Resurrection Magic]]

Spell Type: [[Essence Magic|Essence]], [[Resurrection Magic|Resurrection]] 
[[Spell Attributes|Form]]: [[Direct Touch]] 
Function: Healing 
[[Power Cost]]: Special (equal to half of target's [[Stats|Physique]], round up) 
[[Spell Duration|Duration]]: [[Fleeting]] 
Notes: [[Ritual]] (1 hour per [[Power]])

This slow, powerful ritual is principally useful for resurrecting those who suffered grievous wounds before their death, but is also a safer and easier spell to cast than [[Spark of Life]]. When the ritual begins the target is surrounded by a [[Stasis]]-like effect – guarding their body from further degeneration for the duration of the rite, then life energy is slowed poured into the corpse – gradually restoring it before drawing the spirit back inside. Half the target's [[Wound Penalty]] (before healing) is added to the difficulty of the spell.

Once the spell's healing effect is applied, the deceased may then attempt a fresh [[Death Save]]. If this is passed he returns to life, but if it is failed he remains dead and the ritual's healing is undone. In either case the caster suffers the listed [[Shock]] effect, though the amount is based on the target's Wound Penalty after factoring in the spell's healing.

[[Magical Healing|Healing]] Effect: Power x 12 
Shock Inflicted on Caster: Equal to half target's Wound Penalty (after healing, round up) +3

+Once the spell's healing effect is applied, the deceased may then attempt a fresh [[Trauma Check]]. If this indicates a result other than [[Death]] then he returns to life (although he may still be [[Knocked Out]] and he cannot achieve a result better than [[Stunned]]), but otherwise he remains dead and the ritual's healing is undone.
