Final Rest

Regular 
When cast on a dead body, this spell renders the subject immune to all Necromantic magic. The spirit of the deceased cannot be summoned, nor can the body be animated (or resurrected). It has no physical effect on the body. The spell may be cast at any time after the subject dies, but there is a cumulative -1 penalty for each month that the subject has been dead, to a maximum of -10. Any given caster may attempt the spell only once per subject. 
This spell has no effect on a living person, and will not affect the undead who have already risen. 
In many settings, this spell is an intrinsic part of funeral rites, and may be restricted to the clergy. GMs may wish to change the prerequisite from Magery to Power Investiture (M, Sup) or Blessed (M, Sup). In other settings, this spell is unnecessary; ordinary non-magical funeral rites are sufficient to safe- guard the dead from necromancy. 
It is usually assumed that this spell functions by sending the soul of the deceased from the mortal plane into the presence of their deity. Some, however (usually members of one death-cult or another), believe that this spell works by destroying the disembodied spirits of the dead! 
This is also a Necromantic spell.
