Raises a player from the dead.

Description

The reason to make a Pishite priest. This ritual will restore your target to life, after your brief friendly chat with Death. Not only will this ritual bring your target back to life, but will restore his stats to full, and depending on the users fa.ri.cu.ta bonus will bring back a percentage of your exp! Priests will also receive a small amount of the rituals back, but not the useful ones (like divine hand to get back to your temple). You cannot perform this on yourself, just in case you got your hopes up.

Towards the end of the ritual, there is a line that indicates the success of the ritual in returning xp. In increasing order, these are

  • Flickering traces of your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.
  • A few traces of your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.
  • A few flashes of your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.
  • A few scenes from your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.
  • All of the important moments from your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.

Successfully performing resurrect has a small effect on your alignment, moving you towards good.

The vision is unclear, only pain and darkness.
The image of Death sighs at you.
Death tells you: HER AGAIN? DOES SHE BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION? BECAUSE I HAVE A GOOD LINE ON A NEW LIFE AS A PUZUMA.

XP Return

This information is derived from observations and discussion with others as much as from measurement.

There appear to be two skillchecks related to XP during resurrection, in addition to the command XP.

Command XP received by the person performing the ritual is normally 15 times consumed GP of 270, or 4050 GP.

The subject of the ritual will receive back a maximum of 75% of their before-death XP, depending on a skillcheck that seems to compare the curing target bonus of the priest with the before-death XP of the subject. The scaling factors and linearity or otherwise of the skillcheck are unknown, but empirically it seems that 500 bonus in curing target will generally give the maximum return to the subject for resurrections involving up to 20 million before-death XP.

The performer of the ritual, in addition to Command XP as mentioned above, also appears to receive a portion of the subject's returned XP. The amount they receive appears to be subject to a skillcheck of the performer's curing.target bonus against the subject's returned XP, and this skillcheck seems to be much harder. The maximum XP received by the performer seems to be 5% of the subject's returned XP, and with a curing target bonus of 500 this seems to be reliably achieved on resurrections where the before-death XP was less than 3 million.

Both of these skillchecks appear to involve a "degree of success" calculation rather than the more common "pass or fail" one.
