The SendingStone review

Spare the Dying is a useful spell for Clerics, especially those who are often involved in combat. It allows them to stabilize a dying creature with just a touch, preventing them from further harm and giving allies the chance to heal them. While some may argue that it is a necromantic spell and goes against the principles of good-aligned Clerics, others see it as a compassionate act that shows mercy and preserves life. Ultimately, the spell's effectiveness and morality are up to the individual player and DM to decide.
