Raise dead

[Brucejuh]

Early on the game hints me about a few characters who are now able to use the Raise spell.
It tells you, you need an item from a merchant to be able to cast it.

When i check the spellbook, i find no spell like that.
What am i missing?

If you picked up Trenelev's Scales during the tutorial, you can use those to cast Raise Dead without any other ingredients.

I assume that's what the hints are referring to.

raise dead is a 5th level spell, so clerics will not be able to cast it until 9th level. and it requires diamond dust to cast.

[Canteu]

Raise Dead has a material component cost of 1 diamond. Similarly, Restoration requires diamond dust.

Component costs are not required when the spell is cast from a scroll.

No, it's talking about a material component for the spell. An expensive diamond, namely.

Spells will mention if they require any material components in their description.

Since they're new and don't know yet, for the sake of completeness, that's because you consume the material component when you create the scroll in the first place. Scrolls you buy already include that in their price, and scrolls you find have already been created using the material component and won't cost you anything to cast the spell from the scroll.
