===== True Resurrection =====
After being judged, the spirit departs to its last home, or is dissolved back into the Spirit Pool to be reincarnated. At this point, only True Resurrection may be cast. True Resurrection works in two ways: if the spirit has been transferred to an Outer Plane or last realm, the spell directly connects with the deity or whatever is overseeing them and requests they return to the Material Plane. Depending on the deity, this can be a tricky proposition. In general, the DC to cast this is 10 + 1 for every 100 years the creature has been dead +/- whatever affinity the deity has for the caster. Gods, like the Many-Named-One, enjoy receiving gifts and may ask the caster to perform a task before the creature is resurrected.

If, however, the spirit has been returned to the Pool, it’s usually because they were a terrible person or made a deal with an entity for reincarnation or in exchange for something. It is not possible to resurrect a person this way, as being reincarnated is akin to being “unwilling.”
