[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 2753346, member: 571"] Gamecat, Overall it's what I am looking for. However, it is limited to a single target, and has to be renewed once a year. In a sizable cemetary it could tie up substantial resources. A version that covers an area and lasts for a number of years would be better. On top of it all, considering what you're asking the spell to do, 1st level seems a bit low. 2nd or 3rd might work better. On the other hand, if one's world has some sort of group enacted ritual magic then something like an annual rite at the grave site to honor the deceased would work. Such as, say, the departed's family coming together to pay homage to their ancestors with the head of the household presiding. In such societies certain people being empowered by the gods and the ancestors to cast such magics on such occasions.
