“Rise, creature. You have a new purpose now.”

This spell functions as Animate Dead except as noted here, but is much more powerful. You can create ghouls rather than skeletons and zombies.

Undead created with this spell are not automatically under the control of their animator. If you are capable of commanding undead (such as by Command Undead or Control Undead), you may attempt to command the undead creature as it forms.

This spell must be cast at night.

Augment: You can augment this spell in one of the following ways:

1. If you spend one additional spell point, you can create a ghast rather than a ghoul.

2. If you spend four additional spell points, you can create a mummy rather than a ghoul.

3. If you spend four additional spell points, you can create a shadow rather than a ghoul.

4. If you spend five additional spell points, you can create a wraith rather than a ghoul.

5. If you spend six additional spell points, you can create a spectre rather than a ghoul.

6. If you spend seven additional spell points, you can create a mohrg rather than a ghoul.

7. If you spend nine additional spell points, you can create a devourer rather than a ghoul.

Experience Cost: You must spend 10 XP per Hit Die of the undead you intend to animate.
