Description

The basic spell can infuse relatively intact bodies and skeletons with necrotic energy and animate them into zombies and undead skeletons, respectively. The created undead will obey your spoken commands.\nIf you spend additional PP, you can create more powerful undead.\nSee the creature chapter for details about each type of undead, but note that the maximum CL of each undead created is equal to your skill level - 1. Also note that the total CL of controlled undead can never exceed four times your skill level. If you exceed this limit, you lose control over the undead you created first.\nThe created undead remain animated until they are destroyed. Once destroyed, they cannot be animated again.\nThe gems consumed during the process have to be worth a minimum of 50 sp per TL of undead created.
