By means of this forbidden technique, the user brings the dead back to life to live a pitiful existence and answer his every whim. Using the body of a slain creature as a sacrifice, one of the same type as the creature the user seeks to resurrect, and trapping it within a coffin made of gold and containing the target creature's burial soil, a cup of pure water and a healthy plant, the character is able to raise a creature no higher than 3 levels than him from the dead. The creature, once brought back, will possess all the equipment it had at the time of death, if any, as well as all the knowledge and techniques it had in its previous life. It will retain all its previous templates, racial abilities and bloodline, but will automatically be slain if it reaches 0 hit points. It will regrow lost limbs, including its head, in 1d4 posts.

The raised creature is under full control of the user and cannot by any means disobey him or go against an order it has been given. If the technique was a success, the plant will wither and die and become a lethal poison to the raised creature. If it drinks or is splashed by the water, it will be instantly reduced to 0 hit points and die. This technique can only be used on a creature once, and will be beyond anyone's reach if, and after, it is slain a second time. If within 2 miles of the creature and its coffin, the user can summon them both as a move-equivalent action.

Material Focus: A golden coffin containing the corpse of a creature the same size as the one the user seeks to resurrect and its burial soil. A cup of pure water and a healthy plant.
