[QUOTE="Solarious, post: 3628240, member: 27346"] Having scoured the Spell Compendium myself, I think that [i]Kelgore's Grave Mist[/i] from the PHBII offers the most bang for your buck as the first Advanced Learning spell. It's an area-of-effect spell, it fatuiges everyone in it's effect (very valuable), plus it deals cold damage without SR or saves. I likes it muchly. Besides, if you wanted Animate Dead at 3'rd level, you should pick up Arcane Disciple (Undeath domain, SC pg. 281) from the Complete Divine (pg. 79). Sure, you need 13 Wis, and you can only cast it once a day, but typically you'll only begin animating the dead when you have downtime, and you'll pick up Desecrate to pump up any undead you animate to boot. For the emergency corpse raising, you'll have to wait for 4'th level spells. :p Yeah, Dread Necromancers have Unhallow, but not Desecrate. [/QUOTE]
