[@Sephiroth517]

If still abused, you could just start to apply the "Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penally to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the targel finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears." part found on raise dead and ressurection spells. Revivify doesn't include it because it suppose the soul hasn't really left the corpse yet, which also why it need to be used within a minute of the death... but since the hexblade ability litterally draws the soul out of the corpse and turns it into a specter within a second... then coming back to life 45 seconds later... yeah, sounds like quite an ordeal indeed ^^ At worst, there's also the "If it's soul is free and willing, the target returns to life" restriction also found on raise dead/ressurecion spells. And quite obviously, as long as the specter remains, the soul is not free to return. Then there's the second sentence of specter's lore that mention "Specters no longer possess connections to who or what they were.", which pretty much sow doubts on the 'willing' part as well.
