This spell summons a character from the past who is now dead. The
caster must have the corpse or skeleton of that character to cast the
spell upon. When the character comes back, he is of a level relevant
to the caster's level, even if in his life the character had
eventually reached a higher level of experience. Simply, the spell
recalls the character from a former time. However, if the character
never was of the requested level, he appears at the peak of his
capacities.
| Caster level | Character level |
| 9th | 3rd |
| 13th | 5th |
| 17th | 7th |
20th| 9th |
The spell doesn't bring any equipment along. If any clothing and
equipment are on the corpse used for casting, the character will be
clothed in them, with some possible problems of differences of size.
The character otherwise only has a clouded memory of who he
was, but will be surprised to suddenly find himself in this place.
Nonetheless he will feel compelled to regard the caster as if affected
by a Charm Monster spell. When the spell ends, the character
disappears, leaving behind the normal corpse. This corpse may be
reused to recall the character again, but at each calling, the
character doesn't remember any precedent call, and none of them may
affect his past life in any way.
Note that the character, if later resurrected, will not gain any
experience points for actions performed under the effects of this
spell, since they will not be remembered.
Material component: The focus of this spell is a corpse; note however,
that for this spell being of real interest, the corpse must be that of
someone who had an appropriate class, level, and personality when he
was alive. Bringing back a feeble and low-level peasant won't be very
useful.
