Restorative Power of Pisces
Spell, Astrology, level 7
Brings back someone dead for no more than an hour, though they revive weak with very few hit points; badly damaged bodies cannot be restored.
From the book
Brings any individual or creature back to life, provided death came no longer than 1 hour ago. The spell restores life but not health: the subject returns with only 1-4 hit points, dazed and weak, and needs further healing. It cannot revive anyone whose body was destroyed or is severely mangled. Only astrologers and mages may learn it.

A scene
The boy has been pulled from the Canals of Atlantis cold and blue, and the crowd on the bridge has already begun to wail. Aglaea, an astrologer who happened to be passing, pushes through and counts on her fingers: he went into the water less than an hour ago. She kneels, draws the twin fish on his chest with her own wet thumb, and speaks to the stars. The boy coughs up half the canal. He is white, trembling and barely able to lift his head, but he is alive.
