This may seem like a "newbie" question but I need some help. I'm relatively new to the whole D&D cRPG scene and am extremely new to the Infinity Engine used in Icewind Dale. I'm in the prologue and my mage (with only 4 hit points, go figure) has left this life and I cannot seem to resurrect her. I went to the Temple in Easthaven to request servives from the Temple, but the only option I recieve is a simple healing spell. I noticed that further down the list of services is a resurrection spell. It is in my budget, but I cannot select it as an option.

Any advice? How can I resurrect my mage?

Is your mage an Elf by any chance? If so, Raise Dead won't work. Resurrect should still work, though.

That worked! Thanks!

By the way, if you are new to this line of game, you probably will have party members die early and often just as you get used to how things work. There is no dishonor in saving the game frequently and reloading if a battle goes horribly wrong. Going back to town too much for resurrections will quickly become a pain, both to the coin purse and the time you spend doing it.
