Spirit Spring
Some areas have an affinity for the spirit of a creature the same way some areas have geysers. Scholars say deities of the dead, the rituals associated with the dead, or the deaths of legendary creatures who later become dread ghosts create these sites.
Effect: Creatures who die here always return as an undead version of themselves with Ghostly Creature template applied, and cannot leave the site ever after.

Wild Magic site mishap 50
If the target is slain within 1 day per level of the spell, the target rises as an undead immediately (undead type is subject to GM adjudication).
