Raise Dead is a spell in Remixed Pixel Dungeon (Necromancy Affinity) that attempts to raise the most recently slain creature as an undead minion.

Attempt to raise the latest (Ritual requires quite a fresh material) slain creature. When using this dark art, remember: almost any creature can be raised, but not everyone's will is easy to bend. This spell allows Necromancers to turn defeated enemies into loyal undead servants.
