Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled in the heart of the woods, there lived a young girl named Lily. Lily was known for her exceptional culinary skills and her ability to infuse even the simplest of dishes with magic. She had inherited a special pan from her grandmother, who was a renowned magical chef. This pan was no ordinary cookware; it possessed remarkable powers that could transform ordinary ingredients into extraordinary meals. One day, while exploring the depths of her grandmother's attic, Lily stumbled upon an old, dusty recipe book. As she flipped through its pages, a recipe caught her eye – a recipe for a spellbinding feast that could only be prepared using the magical pan.
Depictions of hell make it appear to be a place that the tortured souls there should be all to eager to leave again if given the opportunity. Can souls there be rescued by resurrection spells? Or are these souls trapped? Does resurrection require the consent from whatever gods rule the plane where the soul resides? Note: This is a more general question related to this question, which is specific for Night Hags and Hades, and may have specifics that override a more general answer.) Background Research: The DMG has this to say about the planes (p. 43)

If the evil cleric wants to revive Sturm to interrogate him, she needs to find some way to trick his soul, such as duping a good cleric into raising him and then capturing him once he is alive again.
As she flipped through its pages, a recipe caught her eye – a recipe for a spellbinding feast that could only be prepared using the magical pan. Intrigued, Lily decided to give it a try. She gathered the required ingredients – a pinch of stardust, a sprinkle of moonlight, and a handful of enchanted herbs.
What is Amavasya? What effect does it have on human life?
Amavasya is of great religious significance in Hinduism. It is considered a perfect time in remembering the ancestors and departed souls of the family and worshipping them. It is believed that, the day when Moonlight is absent, the sunlight reaches them.
There is also a belief that on this day, the departed forefathers come down to the earth and visit their children and descendants.
Vishnu Dharma Sashtra indicates this day as pitrus, (spirits of the ancestors). People feel everything is extreme in Amavasya. If they are mentally imbalanced, they will feel more imbalanced on Amavasya. Human emotions and qualities are enhanced to peak this day because on this day, the gravitational force of the moon pulls everything upwards and the same applies to your blood and energy.
Excessive flow of blood in your head and excessive flow of energies in your body leads to this effect.

Evil spirits and adverse effects of black magic are very powerful on Amavasya as per the astrological and spiritual perspective. As we all are aware how the Moon affects the human mind, no Moon night or Amavasya makes it more powerless and resistless. In extreme cases people even go mad or become lunatic. New born babies are also adversely affected on this day.
There is a tinge of the destroyer in Amavasya. Generally, on the night of Amavasya a very feminine energy would either be disturbed because it causes certain fear and disturbance in her.
Moon and Sun come together in the same zodiac and conjunction at the same degrees (12°). Moon reflects mind and Sun reflects Soul and the close proximity of both in one zodiac creates the situation of 'Samadhi' which leads to unusual feelings in both the physical body and mind.
As every coin has two sides, every phase of the moon also has two sides. As per astrology, this day is considered very beneficial to offer shraadh to ancestors and free them from negative energies. This is an auspicious day to pray for them. Also, humans attract energies to fight evil on Amavasya as planets release more energy on Amavasya and human radiation perceives it.
There are remedies to fight against ill effects of Amavasya and I will suggest you some:
- I suggest you to flow a spoonful of in flowing streams of water chanting the name of Shiva.
- I recommend you to light a lamp under the Basil tree praying for Saturn.
- Offer Sindoor, Oil, clove and black urad to Lord Hanuman and chant Hanuman Chalisha.
- I would recommend you to avoid plucking tulsi leaves on Amavasya.
- I suggest you to make kheer and puri to offer your ancestors after Pitru Karya as they will bless you and their soul will rest in peace.
Amavasya may have its effects on human life but we should look forward to the new sunrise with hope.
May Lord Ganesha protect you from all the evil energies.

When a creature dies, its soul departs its body, leaves the Material Plane, travels through the Astral Plane, and goes to abide on the plane where the creature's deity resides. If the creature didn't worship a deity, its soul departs to the plane corresponding to its alignment.
