[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6323079, member: 19675"] (Emphasis mine) I'm sorry, but that is not the proper terminology- the word for what you're describing is "supply". Consider the legend of The True Cross. Or the Spear of Longinus. Powerful items, according to legend. Lots of people wanted them...STILL want them. Real? The spell does not specify how much, but it DOES specify that the bone must be from one of those undead, at least two kinds of which- fleshless skeletons and desiccated, preserved [URL="http://www.quora.com/Anthropology/What-do-mummies-smell-like"]mummies[/URL]- would emit no smell at all. IOW, the issue isn't the [I]amount[/I] of bone needed for the spell, but the character of it, the nature of its source. If it isn't from one of those kind of undead, the spell will fizzle*. Is a discerning customer who is used to warping reality with words & gestures going to take the seller's word that the bone has said nature, or will he seek assurances? * unless you are using HRs akin to the rules in AU/AE, which allow for variant spell effects when variant spell components are used.
