EFFECT
Range touch
Target dead creature touched
Duration 24 hours
DESCRIPTION
You restore temporary life to a body that has been dead for less than 48 hours. The spell lasts for 24 hours, after which the target dies again. The target gains 1 permanent negative level while under the effect of this spell; this negative level goes away when the target dies or is permanently raised from the dead (such as with raise). The target still counts as a dead corpse (but not undead) for the purpose of spells that revive dead creatures, so a white mage can cast raise or a similar spell on the target even while this spell is active. Once a creature has been revived with temporary resurrection, this spell cannot be used on it again until it is permanently raised from the dead.
