Explanation/Description: This spell
serves to protect dead creatures of all
sorts against normal decay, magically
strengthening the joints of corpses or
corpse limbs to keep them supple and
usable.

Its most prevalent practical use is to preserve dead comrades for placing atop a bier in a sepulcher, or in hopes that they may be raised.

Note that this
spell does not heal wounds or stanch
bleeding.
 

C: The M-U requires fresh blood from a
creature of the same race/species as the
spell subject, and the dust or powder
resulting from the crushing of a moonstone
of not less than 7 gp value. As the
words of the spell are spoken, the most
vital areas of the body (chest cavity,
head and neck, joints of extremities) are
sprinkled with a small amount of blood,
and the whole body is then sprinkled
with the moonstone dust. The closing
gesture of the spell is the touching of
the corpse, whereupon the spell will
take immediate effect.
