Resurrection implications

There's the Final Rest spell, too, which can prevent resurrection. It's only PI 1 but costs 20 FP and takes 10 minutes to cast. That's a high bar for a would-be assassin.

Could enchant it into a casting item. According to DF Magic Items (p. 12) this would cost $24,000 and would require either Power Investiture or Holiness. Doesn't get us around the time or the FP cost. But we can reduce those at an increased $ cost:

$24,000 — Final Rest, 20 FP, 10 minutes
$48,000 — Final Rest, 10 FP, 10 minutes
$96,000 — Final Rest, 5 FP, 10 minutes
$48,000 — Final Rest, 20 FP, 5 minutes
$96,000 — Final Rest, 20 FP, 2.5 minutes
$96,000 — Final Rest, 10 FP, 5 minutes
$384,000 — Final Rest, 5 FP, 2.5 minutes

I suppose I could see a Holy Warrior assassin armed with a top-shelf Ring of Final Rest... That's still 150 turns, though, to get caught at the scene of the crime.

I wonder how to price a one-shot version of this (Oil of Final Rest). An interesting version might still take time to take effect (like the spell). So, someone is assassinated, but if their allies get to them within ten minutes. they could wash off the oil before it fully takes effect.
