It has 1 min casting time (+4) and a 5000gp component (+1): SP19. An arcane version based off of limited wish defrays the casting time exactly, and would cost 300xp plus 250xp - call it 500xp (for some reason, I've been pegging limited wish at 250xp throughout anyway).It may seem slightly absurd to extrapolate factors for resurrection and true resurrection from this, though as the 20 days -> 200 years discrepancy is enormous. Ah, bollocks.Honestly, I just think we're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. My feeling at present:Heal and Harrow (Harm): SP 16. Arcane caster pays mandatory 500 xp.Life: SP 26 (resurrection) and SP 33 (true resurrection). Arcane caster pays mandatory 1000 XP.Awaken: SP 24. Additional cost of 250xp/creature awakened. No arcane penalty.An admittance that the arcane surcharges are symbolic of the fact that wizards and sorcerers are less adept at manipulating these energies than divine casters: I think this concession is important, as it's a sacred cow. Folding awaken back into life is a possibility, although if we do it will be the only seed whose lowest SP root (awaken) isn't reflected in the seed school (Conjuration).There again, awaken is the perfect candidate for Magnificat - whatever the hell that revised feat looks like.</blockquote>
