What Is Revivify?
Revivify is a 3rd level Necromancy spell that allows the caster to return a creature who has died very recently — within the last minute — to life.
Who Can Cast Revivify?
Revivify is the first of many resurrection spells that players may get access to during their adventures. Artificers, Clerics, Paladins, Divine Soul Sorcerers, and Celestial Warlocks will all be able to add the spell to their repertoire starting at the 3rd level.
Bards can take the spell using their Magical Secrets feature, available to all Bards starting at 10th level (6th level for Lore Bards).
When and Where Should I Cast Revivify?
Revivify should be cast if someone who you would like to have alive happens to die.
Why Should I Take Revivify?
People die relatively easily, and not having Revivify means they have to stay dead.

When I’m not writing about RPGs, I’m playing Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, X-Wing miniatures, and many other lovingly-crafted tabletop games with the people I love.
