Undead Familiar (Necromancy) Level: 5 Range: Touch Components: V, S, M Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 1 turn Area of Effect: 1 corpse or skeleton Saving Throw: None Using this spell, an evil wizard animates a corpse to act as his familiar. The .subject. can be in any stage of decay to the point of being nothing more than a skeleton. Any human, demihuman, or humanoid corpse can be animated.
