You touch a dead humanoid or a piece of a dead humanoid. Provided that the creature has been dead no longer than 10 days, the spell forms a new adult body for it and then calls the soul to enter that body. If the target's soul isn't free or willing to do so, the spell fails. The magic fashions a new body for the creature to inhabit, which likely causes the creature's race, and possibly sex to change.   In Phrelle a d100 is rolled and compared to a table available to the moderator staff to determine what form/race the creature takes when restored to life.   The reincarnated creature recalls its former life and experiences. It retains the capabilities it had in its original form, except it exchanges its original race for the new one and changes its racial traits accordingly. Learned skills like proficiencies remain unchanged.   In Phrelle the spell also is enhanced by participation of other adventurers who perform skill checks to coax a soul back to the new body. This culminates in modifiers to a special death save which Server Mods have access to to validate the success of failure of the spell.
