Would a spell like Auto-Life work in this game?

[Shikiseki]

Well I expect those high level spells to appear sooner or later. Although Reraise is usually after Arise (full revival) and is White Magic.
Often tagged with hefty MP cost so I think that'll be a fairer trade off than 10minute cooldowns (say half of max mp a cast, effect lasts 30s, single target, revived person is brought back with normal raise hp and no mp/tp as usual.

I personally would like to get Arise first as WHM only skill then Reraise at around level 80-90.
We'll hopefully get Curaja next as well or something cool like Dia(-ga), Dispel, Blink, Teleport, Bravery, Faith, Haste, Silence and Reflect.

It already exists in one form:

I could see it being a new ability come expansion.

There was talk a while ago, I think in a live letter, that they said they were considering reworking Phoenix downs to be reraise items instead of raise.

Well, as long as the status is ignored for boss ultimates, I can see it happening.

I doubt they'd give players the ability to easily cheese any mechanic that results in an insta-wipe via auto-res plus healer LB3, tho.

The game already handles that. Even if you accept a raise during a failed boss signature attack, raising too early will cause the attack to re-kill you, and if you raise after the attack's damage happens, everyone will be at 0 hate because they're all dead and you just raised, so the boss will reset to 100% and kill you once you're up again.

What is up with these ridiculous CD timers people suggest lately?
10 mins? You do realize that's longer than even the hardest fight in the game currently right?

Same CD as Benediction would suffice. As the raise takes effect, weakness should not take effect either.

I'm sorry my harmless suggestion followed by "...or something" ruined your day. You weren't supposed to take it seriously because I sure as hell didn't. I'll edit it for you.

Happened to me during a Scathach fight. And the healer was standing where she spawns. So everyone died. I came back. She turned and slapped me and I was dead again.

On topic I could see it lasting until used and being self only and unable to use in combat for balance. Or unswiftable with a long cast time.

It not only can work, it's already in the game.

Of course, where it is... it's sort of a throwback to older style MMOs. Strong mobs, less emphasis on mechanics more and more emphasis on handling situations as things go wrong, etc.
