The description of the Buddhist Magic spell Resurrection is quite incomplete. Here is the full description.
Only very pious followers of the Buddhist faith may cast this spell (allegiance score at least 75). This spell allows the caster to resurrect a person that has died a non-supernatural death only.
The spell must be cast before the hún and the pò have left the xíng, i.e., within 1D6+3 days after the target has died. Not holding the appropriate mortuary ritual may add a further 1D4 days to this time period. The GM secretly rolls the dice and does not tell the result to the players. After the total number of days have elapsed, and if neither mortuary ritual nor attempted resurrection spell have taken place, the pò of the dead is transformed into a hungry ghost (see p111 of the rule book).
At the time when the spell is cast, a spirit-medium must assist the caster by successfully channelling the dead person’s spirit (i.e., by successfully rolling under his Channel Spirit skill score). The caster must then successfully persuade the spirit to get back into its body — this latter part is abstracted by the Resurrection spell.
After the resurrection, the target of the spell is very feeble, and must undergo 2D6 days of absolute rest to be fit again.
