Well this is wrong from first hand experiance. After the first zone crash
in the Plane of Fear (full spawn eeek!) we had a guide helping us by
ressurecting and recovering our corpses for us. He would summon us to our
corpse in the PoF and then do a ressurection. I thought this was damn odd,
because he was a lvl 50 cleric guide and was using his lvl 49 spell to do
this. And he had to meditate after each time. I have been ressurected
before by our GM and he didnt med or cast, just zapped away. Maybe this was
just a freak occurance, i dont know, but he definately had his spells :)
