Pages From the Mages Version[]
By means of this spell the caster makes undead creatures immune to one turning or disruption attempt by priests, paladins, or others capable of turning undead. The spell does not provide immunity to magical items such as the mace of disruption nor to magical spells such as protection from evil.
Any undead with Hit Dice equal to or less than the caster's level can be affected up to one undead creature per level of the caster. Affected undead creatures radiate a faint aura of magic. The effect lasts until a turning attempt is made that would otherwise turn or destroy the undead creature. Once a successful turning attempt is blunted by this spell, the spell is no longer in effect for that particular undead being, and it can be turned normally. The spell otherwise lasts a maximum of 24 hours. An undead cannot receive another revenance spell if one is currently operating.
The material components of this spell are a flake of ash, a pinch of dust, and a drop of blood.
Wizard's Spell Compendium Version[]
By means of this spell, the caster makes a number of undead creatures immune to one turning attempt by priests, paladins, or others with this ability. The spell does not provide immunity from magical items such as the mace of disruption nor to magical spells such as protection from evil.
One undead creature can be protected per experience level of the caster; however, no single creature with more levels or Hit Dice than the caster can be protected. Affected creatures radiate a faint aura of magic.
The protection for an individual creature lasts until a turning attempt is made that would otherwise turn or destroy it. Once a successful turning attempt is blunted by the revenance spell, its protection ends for that creature. The spell otherwise lasts a maximum of 24 hours. The protection given by this spell is not cumulative with itself; all effects end immediately when the protection is triggered.
The material components of this spell are a flake of ash, a pinch of dust, and a drop of blood.
Notes: Very rare spell from the Forgotten Realms setting. Known to be in the tome, Studies in Death.
