Resurrection Charm

The Resurrection Charm is casket of powerful magic that is sewn into a person's body. Once the spell senses the life-force of the individual ebbing, the magic kicks in as a purple glow and works its way through the body, repairing and resurrecting the individual. The resurrection and healing power of the spell is not instantaneous, however; the more severe the death, the longer the body will take to recuperate. Each time the charm is used, its power needs to be recharged before the process can be repeated.
