Another good idea..

IMHO, I believe there shouldn't be a potion of this calibur in the
game -- not even a scroll of the spell.
While I'm at it, let me explain the way that one of the pay-online
services (GEnie) handles death in their multi-player frp (Gemstone
III):
A player can pay tribute to the "demon goddess", in which case the
goddess owes them a favor. Everytime that a player dies, one of these
favors are used up [the player is teleported to the goddess' temple
completely naked with no hit points]. Multiple favors can be granted
by the goddess, but the tribute to get these favors increases for each
favor asked..
