Description: Death Shamans of the hilly Halfling lands south of Quenecias use this spell to succor people who have lost loved ones. Strangely enough, this spell translates quite well into an adventurng party situation. If an ally has died in the past 24 hours, this spell can be used to boost morale. All affected allies recive a +2 to all will saves and a +1 to hit and damage all creatures of the type that caused the death of the party member, even if it is the same race as the target of the spell.

In addition, the Cleric may invoke the name of the party member during a single combat situation. When this happens, the rage, sorrow, and grief is released in a single, powerful burst of emotion and every person who was affected by that spell Rage as the Barbarian ability. When this is invoked, the spell ends.

The DM decides whether or not the party member was close enough to the targets of the spell to warrant them recieving the benefits of this spell.
