Reincarnate

5-level Transmutation

Casting Time: 1 hour

Range/Area: Touch

Components: V, S, M

Materials: (Rare oils and unguents worth at least 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes)

Duration: Instantaneous

You touch a dead humanoid or a piece of a dead humanoid. Provided that the creature has been dead no longer than an hour, you may bring it back in 1 of 3 ways:
● You summon their soul into a corked battle. In this form, they can only speak, see and hear. They have no need for air but uncorking their bottle causes their soul to evaporate.
● You sever their head and reanimate it. In this form, they can speak, emote, and bite something with your mouth. You have no need of food, drink or sleep but you do still need to breathe.
● You summon their soul into a doll. The doll can see, hear, has a movement speed of 10 ft, and can read and write the same languages it understood in life, but cannot speak.
All 3 of these options have only 1 hit point. The reincarnated creature recalls its former life and experiences. All of their physical stats are 1 but all of their mental states are as they were at the time of their death. If the target’s soul isn’t free or willing to do so, the spell fails.

At higher levels: If you cast this spell on the same target again after completing a long rest using a 6th Level or higher spell slot the target regains their body with all relevant stats and abilities returned.
