Hello,
In my campaign world, there is an extinct race of Aberrant overlords who were defeated totally about 60 years before the campaign began. There are a few ruins dotted about that used to be their strongholds, though such areas are abandoned and avoided by everyone. The setting is mostly in a Frostfell style ice tundra. The ruins have been explored and looted recently, because a few of their relics have appeared in the campaign world.
The lost race are Half-Farspawn, making them Outsiders. I am aware that they cannot therefore be Raised or Resurrected per se.
One of my players has a book bound in skin from this race. He wishes eventually to attempt to "resurrect" one of them, using this book as the raw material. I think he won't mind if the result has no memories or previous identity. Simply having a living, breathing member of the lost species alive would suit his purposes.
Is there a combination of spells that can recreate a body from only a small piece of it? Would it then be possible to instil the resulting clonal corpse with life and awaken it?
What combination of spells (powers, soulmeld effects or whatever) or items would be needed?
Ultimately, the player will probably give up and go and search for better quality specimens, but I still want to envisage the legit path to carrying out this process so that I can make the steps viable in my campaign world.
