Breath of Life spell:                                  (Cleric Level  7 Prayer)
Syntax: cast 'breath of life'

Eldritch powers and divine prayers empower the cleric to breathe life into a
tiny form.  This spark of life proves far too minor to reanimate large beings,
such as player characters, but is generally sufficient to reanimate small
beings, such as newts or familiars.  (Min Mana = 50)

The origins of this spell remain shrouded in mystery.  Rumors ascribe it to the
emergence of the budding healing abilities of the foul branch of magic known as
Newtomancy.

Note that this spell only has the power to affect one target per casting, and
selects the most recently deposited corpse which it can, if any.  Thus, if you
seek to target the spell, clear up excess dead corpses, or carry the corpse of
your Familiar to another place, to restore life to it in peace.  This spell
only targets corpses on the ground, not in someone's inventory.

If the being so restored to life was someone's familiar, and their Master yet
remains in the Vulpine Realms (still logged in to Fox MUD), the link between
Master and Familiar will be reestablished when life is breathed back into the
familiar.  Note that if the Master already has gained a new familiar, the
prior link will superceed the newer Familiar link when the former Familiar
is restored to life.

The strain of dying does even affect familiars.  They will lose about 5% of
the experience they had when they died (5% is 1/20th).

The Sacred Order provides scrolls of this spell for those not yet able to cast
it themselves, for a small donation to the church.
