Name this Spell

[Michael Morris]

Having trouble coming up with either a name or flavor text for this spell.

???
Conjuration (Healing)
Level: (7) Clr 7

This spell works like raise dead except that prior to being raised from the dead the soul of the deceased is presented with a quest of your choosing. If they refuse they are not raised, if they do accept then they must perform the quest. If they break the terms of the quest or fail to complete it within a time span you designate they die. They are not entitled to a saving throw or spell resistance, but this death is not a death effect.

The quest you choose for them must be possible to complete, though difficulty has no bearing upon whether the quest will apply.

The soul raised by this spell cannot remove the quest without ending the raise effect of this spell and thereby dying.

This spell works like raise dead except that prior to being raised from the dead the soul of the deceased is presented with a quest of your choosing. If they refuse they are not raised and suffer no level loss, if they do accept then they must perform the quest. If they break the terms of the quest or fail to complete it within a time span you designate (or the duration of the spell, whichever is shorter) they die. They are not entitled to a saving throw or spell resistance, but this death is not a death effect.

The quest you choose for them must be possible to complete, though difficulty has no bearing upon whether the quest will apply.

The quest is bound to the target's very soul, and for the duration the spell itself is the only real connection between the body and soul; thus, the soul raised by this spell cannot remove the quest without ending the raise effect of this spell and thereby dying.

Material Component: At least 5,000 gp worth of white pearls, and at least 5,000 gp worth of black pearls.

Their might be a lesser version of the spell that enables the ressurection only for the length of the quest. Or the knowledge that the conduct of the returnee would be judged and only made permanent conditionally.

Good idea although it sounds a lot like a DM Spell you don't really have to name. Just make a conditional ressurection.

"Conditional Ressurection" would work...
