As a "holy grail" for RPM casters how would you make a raise dead spell?

Yes, but you specified Raise Dead not Resurrection, which I assumed was a reference to the D&D (and Pathfinder) spell of the same name.

I wasn't using game speak. Raising the dead is a resurrection except in zombie movies. And that wouldn't be that hard in most magic heavy games, anyway.

Souls in the afterlife sound like they would qualify as spirit and body are one. Only ghosts, tulpas, oobes, etc. are made of ectoplasm, will, or flatulance.
But that's just a setting quibble.

Edit: I think this may come off as antagonistic. It's meant as silly, since I've been having trouble sleeping, and getting punchy.
