This spell allows the target to enter a binding agreement

with your deity that brings the target back to life if she is

slain.

When this spell is cast, the target’s Constitution is permanently

lowered by 2 points. In exchange for this, if she

ever dies, several spells are brought into effect. First, she

is teleported to a safe location designated by you at the

time of casting as if with a word of recall spell. Second,

the target is brought back from the dead with a raise dead

spell with the standard loss of a level. Finally, the target

is healed with a heal spell. She does not regain the 2 Constitution

points when returned to life.

If a raise dead spell could not return the target to life

(for example, if she was disintegrated or died of old age),

the death pact cannot restore her to life. If the spell is dispelled

before the target dies, she does not regain her 2 lost

Constitution points.

Material Component: A diamond worth at least 500 gp.

XP Cost: 250 XP.
