Raise Dead 5th-level necromancy
It restores life to a dead creature with similar restrictions and is the next-step higher-level resurrection most casters learn after this kind of spell.
Resurrection 7th-level necromancy
This is a more powerful version that also brings the dead back instantly and shares the same thematic purpose of reversing death.
True Resurrection 9th-level necromancy
As the most potent return-from-death spell, it’s closely related in function and intent even though it’s much higher level.
Reincarnate 5th-level necromancy
It revives a creature as well, with different flavor and secondary effects, but serves the same role of returning a dead ally to life.
Gentle Repose 2nd-level necromancy
While it doesn’t revive, it interacts with dead bodies and is commonly used alongside revival magic to preserve a corpse for later restoration.
