This spell dispels negative levels and reverses level drains by a force or creature, restoring the creature to the highest level it had previously attained. Drained levels are restored only if the time since the creature lost the level is no more than one week per caster level. Thus, if a 10th-level character has been struck by a vampire and drained to 8th level, greater restoration brings the character up to exactly the minimum number of experience points necessary to restore him to 10th level (45,000 XP), gaining him an additional Hit Die and level functions accordingly.
Greater restoration also dispels all magical effects penalizing the creature’s abilities, cures all temporary ability damage, and restores all points permanently drained from all ability scores. It also eliminates fatigue and exhaustion, and removes all forms of insanity, confusion, and similar mental effects. Greater restoration does not restore levels or Constitution points lost due to death.
