I can learn both a bring-back-to-life spell, as well as a Reincarnation spell.
The problem with the first is that it must be done a very short time after death occurs, and the second brings the person's soul back in a new body. A body which might not be the same gender or even race as the deceased.
That's always vastly more entertaining than true resurrection. Nothing like bringing back the wizard as an ogre or something.
Yeah, Reincarnation is interesting. The subject comes back in a random body, but retains his/her class, skill ranks, feats, etc, and potentially gains brand new abilities based on race. Since it is a new body, the condition of the old body is irrelevant; the subject could have been blasted to bits and it would not matter. Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution can all change, but it appears that the other attributes stay the same. So a wizard in an ogre's body can actually be a decent fighter.
