Even when he gets a handle on ''that'', the process risks burning a hole in reality.
*** It's repeatedly hinted that some people, including Ron, think that something like this happened after Harry was killed by [[spoiler: Daken]] near the end of the first book. He came back very quickly, but after that, he was never ''quite'' the same... (the truth is that his personality changes have a lot more to do with the TraumaCongaLine that this merely ''started'', rather than the process itself).

* In the Jewish tale "The Homunculus of Maimonides", the wise old philosopher Maimonides carries out an experiment to see if he can bring his assistant back from the dead. The process takes nine months like a pregnancy, during which time Maimonides observes the body grow strong and obviously evil, as an exaggeration of the assistant's duplicitous nature. With the permission of a council of rabbis, Maimonides destroys the body before it can revive.

* In ''The World of Darkness'', particularly in the ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'' game-lines, there are a number of different ways to bring a recently deceased person back from the dead. ''None'' of them result in a mentally- or spiritually-sound being. Here's a quick run: you can make a Revenant out of them, but that gives you a zombie with a supercharged case of OCD. You can try [[TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem Embracing]] them, but now they're a vampire and, since you Embraced them ''after'' death, their reflection/shadow has come loose and become a separate being that hates them. Making a ''[[TabletopGame/PrometheanTheCreated Promethean]]'' out of them opens the door to a laundry list of problems.[[note]](Not the least of which is that the "resurrectee" is [[ThatManIsDead actually a whole different person]]. The previous occupant / soul is gone, the Promethean is a wholly new being.)[[/note]] A [[TabletopGame/GeistTheSinEaters Geist]] can haul someone back if they were [[ISeeDeadPeople the right sort]] and [[NearDeathExperience enough wiggle room exists,]] but it's ''never'' for free. Some [[TabletopGame/DeviantTheRenegades Deviants]] have healing powers strong enough to raise the dead, but there's a non-zero chance the resurrected will end up as another Deviant. And finally, the least harmful of all of these, a [[TabletopGame/HunterTheVigil Benediction]] that resurrects the very-recently-slain... leaves them with a permanent mental illness.
