Introduction: Alright, one of the goals of most clerics is to reach the age of raising or 12th level. But, you will need to know some stuff before you can just start. When you get here you will need to know spell 312 and have a 102 mana share. Your probably going to want to highlight a few things of importance also. Such as, body of, bleeding, seeping, and the message for end of a life preservation. It is also advised that as you go you highlight all of the raisers that you run across. My list is sum were around 300 names. You will probably want to get used to reading guild speach as you will see it alot as a cleric. OK, that aside lets see how this looks.
[room name]
This is a typical room discription not unlike any other room you
have been in.
Also in the room: the body of Lord Fror
OK, you have come across some poor soul laying on the ground. What first? First you want to LK (life keep or life preservation) him. This is done by either pouring a white flask, pure potion, or casting the spell 305 at him. You want to do this because you don't know how long their decay time is and it really sucks to have someone decay on you. If they decay they will lose 1/5 of the level in experience.
Alright, you now have them LKed. The next thing you will want to do is say hello, and probably switch to guild and ask the room. If someone is working on the body. You can normally watch the room and tell if there is someone working on this person, but some times there will be a cleric sleeping in the same room as the dead person (Sorry, but this is a person pet peeve of mine). The reason you say hello to the person is what we call a bedside manner. It helps people to get to know you and you will see them alot.
Alright, the next thing you are going to want to do is appraise {name} of the person. It will return the maximum amount of spirit that they have. With spell 312 you are going to lose 75% of this spirit from your spirit. So if your person you are working on has a 10 spirit you will lose 8. It is very important you have 1 more spirit then you are going to lose if not. You will suffer spirit death. Spirit death is when your spirit goes to 0. You lose 2 deeds and 1/5 of the experience for needed for next level. On a side note you will want to keep more then 2 deeds on you at all times just in case of errors. I have only suffered 1 spirit death in Fror's history and that is because I was half asleep at about 4 in the morning. But, errors do happen.
Next, thing you are going to want to do is diag {name} full . You will need both hands availible for this. So, you should have the body in a safe area if possible. The is nothing as silly as dieing on top of your patient because you weren't worried about the creature that killed him. Also, you want to be in a safe area because obviously something in this area can kill your patient. What you are looking for here is bleeding or seeping from a location. You will want to then if possible get an empath to heal the bleeding areas. If there isn't one availible you are going to have to become a medic, using the tend command. The way you tend an area is tend {name} {location} or tend fror right arm. This will attempt to tend the location, if you have enough skill in first aid to be able to do that. After tending a location you are going to want to do another diag {name} full as its very well possible that you didn't get all of the bleeder. Don't raise them without all of the bleeders gone or they will die before they get out of the stun time from the bleeder you missed. Ok, now that you have the person preped for a ressurection. Lets go to the act.
Ok, at this point you are probably going to want to indicate you are calling upon your diety to raise this poor soul. This can be touching the body, reciting, or any other way to tell the room. Such and such is about to be raised. This also insures that someone won't drag off the body as most people don't pay attention to clerics until they state "I am raising such and such" and will drag off a body on you. Then prep 312 and cast {name}.
This will put you in stun and round time. Get used to it. OK, at this point your going to want to say something to the person you just raised out of common courtesy. This also lets the person know who rasied them. They may want to tip you. Ok, now let your spirit recover and LK the other dead while your sitting there.
