Overleveled and overrated[edit]

I'm sorry, how is this a level 3 spell? --Luigifan18 (talk) 15:15, 19 November 2017 (MST)

I believe the logic is that the spell that prevents you from being raised as undead (forgot the name, but it's in the SpC) is level 2, consecrate is level 2, and this is perma-consecrate, thus I bumped the level up to 3. It is, of course, quite circumstantial but that is ok. Re-reading it though, I do see that the permanency of consecrate is unclear since that's also the duration of the spell. That is, you get this spell cast on you and forget about it, and it goes off whenever you die, so there's no worries about this taking a spell slot. It's an out-of-combat utility. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 16:10, 19 November 2017 (MST)
Got it. (Now that I think about it, this spell probably saves a fortune on funeral rites.) --Luigifan18 (talk) 16:44, 19 November 2017 (MST)
