Resurrection Wand

Resurrection Wand (蘇生の短杖) is a magic artifact that can revive the dead.
== Description ==
Under normal circumstances, only faith-based magic casters could use items imbued with faith-based magic. However, this magic item is an exception to the faith-based system and can, therefore, be used.Overlord First Half Chapter 52: War Part 12
== Appearance ==
The wand takes on the appearance of a glowing short stick of about thirty centimeters in length. While so, it emitted a sacred aura that appeared out of place in the hand of its user. In a way, it was an extremely beautiful item that seemed to be made out of ivory, with the front end coated in gold and the handle inscribed with runes.Overlord Volume 04 Epilogue
== Abilities ==
This magic item allows the user to cast a 7th tier resurrection spell. It is able to revive a dead target back to life. On the other hand, it requires a dead person's corpse in order for the wand to be used for carrying out its ability to resurrect the target.Overlord Volume 13 Chapter 4: Siege
Even if the corpse is present, the condition of their body might complicate matters. Without an intact corpse, there is a chance that if the person is revived, it might instead become one of the Undead.Overlord Volume 12 Chapter 3: Beginning of the Counterattack
On the other hand, it is also possible for the target to actually reject the resurrection imposed by the user.Overlord Volume 07 Intermission
However, similar to YGGDRASIL, the revival comes with penalties on the level of the target, making the target lose a degree of its vitality.Overlord Volume 06 Chapter 10: The Greatest Trump Card
