Some of these undead, however, form as a result of magical accidents.Death tyrants are created through the use of a magical spell cast upon the bodies of slain beholders.A rogue death tyrant usually forms as a result of a magical accident.Doomsphere: It usually forms when a beholder dies in a magical explosion.Kasharin: Kasharin usually form when a wizard or priest transforms a malohurr infected beholder into a death tyrant. Sometimes, however, death tyrants spontaneously transform into kasharin.Create Death TryantEighth Level Wizard Spell(Necromancy)Range: 20 FtComponents: vDuration : InstantaneousArea Of Effect : 1 beholder/Hit DieSaving Throw: NoneThis spell allows an elder orb or beholder mage to create death tyrants from the shells or corpses of dead beholders.

In addition, the spell allows the wizard to instruct the death tyrant as to how it will receive orders in the future. The death tyrant will obey the spellcaster for Id6 rounds plus 1 round for every level of the caster. After that amount of time, the spellcaster must use the control death tyrant spell in order to maintain control of the undead creature.Most wizards eschew the use of this spell, as creating a death tyrant is a purely evil action. Good aligned wizards who cast this spell should be severely punished.A 7th level clerical version of this spell exists. The spell falls under the necromantic sphere and is identical to the wizard spell. Again, creation of a death tyrant is an offensive and evil action. Good aligned priests should suffer great punishment for using this spell. At the very least, the cleric's deity will withold all spells and granted abilities until the cleric atones for his actions.The creation of a death tyrant requires an elaborate ritual. The cost of the material components of this ritual averages about 3,000 gp.</blockquote>
