Using our world as a template, it probably would be illegal to revive a convict, but itd be an open secret that a few well placed bribes and a bit of influence is all it’d take to bend the rules
No, no. It would be illegal to revive a convict using abilities that are affordable or available to the general public. And it would be a crime to both use those methods and to be revived by them.
For more elite methods, though, they wouldn’t even be covered by law. They’d go unmentioned and unregulated by statutes and edicts.
I dunno about the worlds you’re playing in, but resurrection magic tends to not be affordable or available to the general public. You don’t get access to it until fifth level spells, which 9th level. That’s around where most official 5e campaigns end, and most of the time you need thousands of gold in diamonds as a consumed material component. That’s nation-level wealth. Folks tend not to think about it this way because we’re all accustomed to the PC perspective, but really, by the time we get to that level each of us is a Jeff Bezos to the common folk.
