[QUOTE="Mort, post: 7428716, member: 762"] The opposite, not only are they not magically held in place, if they are removed the spell ends early. The spell make a point of saying (in the material component spot) "one copper piece placed on each of the corpse's eyes, which must remain there for the duration" - seems a strange place for fluff, so likely it's relevant. Also it's more fun. Normally, the corpse just lies there - but what if the party has to flee? Keeping the coins on the eyes while running away is a challenge in and of itself. why would a cleric cast it right away as opposed to later? Well if the cleric later wants to cast revivify - he's got to cast this spell within 1 minute of death. Why not just cast revivify? Well presumably after a hard fight, he might have a 2nd level spell available but not a 3rd level. Not sure why you would? Either the focus is sufficient on it's own, or you just need the coins. Since, here, the coins are an integral part of the spell - seems you just need the coins. All IMHO of course [/QUOTE]
