Restore Life
Spell, Elemental Magic, level 7
Brings one dead creature back to life with full hit points if it passes a Constitution save; it does not lift curses or cure disease.
From the book
The caster brings one dead creature or being back to life. The subject must first succeed at a save vs Constitution, or the spell has no effect; if it works, they return with every hit point and all mental faculties restored.
The spell does nothing about curses or disease, so someone killed by either is likely to die again without the right help. If the save fails, a priest or mystic may still be able to raise the victim.

A scene
The rock troll's club had crushed Brokk's chest in the Rhiphaen tunnels, and his dwarven kin carried him back to the witch Solveig, who had wintered among them for years. She knelt by the body, set her hands on the ruined ribs and called him back. For a long moment nothing happened; the dwarves held their breath. Then Brokk's chest rose. His eyes opened, clear and sharp, and his wounds were gone as if they had never been. He looked at the ring of weeping faces and asked, gruffly, who had let the troll live.
