In exchange for this, if the subject should die, a true resurrection spell (PH 296) is immediately cast upon the subject. However, the resurrected creature does not regain the 2 Constitution points when returned to life. If the spell is dispelled before the subject dies, it does not regain its lost Constitution points, A wish or miracle spell can return the lost Constitution, but only after the death pact has been activated or dispelled.
