Attempts to raise the dead always fail. The reunion of a dead physical form with the soul that once inhabited it creates an undead creature, which has limited memory of its previous life, but enough comprehension to know that it is an abomination and to hate the still-living (especially those who disturbed its well-deserved rest).Constructs, elementals, and undead type creatures may be created through spells.Only Void magic can compel undead, force souls to inhabit dead bodies for the creation of undead, or enable the mind of one being to possess the body of another.Create Undead Necromancy power.Grotesque Parody of Life: ?Abomination: ?Corporeal Undead Creature: ?Incorporeal Entity: ?Ghost, Incorporeal Entity: ?Ghoul: A 7th-level death mage gains the ability to create ghouls. The death mage must obtain a corpse that has been dead for one week or less. The ritual for creating the ghoul lasts for 1 hour, during which time the death mage must implant a jet stone worth no less than 75 argents in value into the corpse’s chest. If the death mage is disturbed during the ritual, he must start all over again. The ghoul is not automatically under the control of the death mage, who must attempt to command it in order to bring it under his influence.Skeleton: At 2nd level, the death mage may animate 2 HD worth of skeletons or zombies. To do so, the death mage must spend an hour uninterrupted, performing the dark rites that will bring undeath to the corpse(s). The bodies that are to be animated must be appropriate for the sort of undead the death mage wishes to create. For instance, corpses that are still fleshy cannot be animated as skeletons, while skeletal corpses cannot be animated as zombies.The death mage may animate up to 4 HD worth of undead at 4th level, 6 HD at 6th level, 8 HD at 8th level, and 10 HD at 10th level. Undead animated by the death mage in this way last 1 week per level in this prestige class. Afterward, the undead quit functioning and cannot be animated again.Wight: At 9th level, a death mage is able to create wights. The corpse that is to be used cannot have been dead more than 3 days. The ritual for creating the ghast is the same as for creating the ghoul (except the jet stone must be worth 100 argents). The wight is not automatically under the control of the death mage, who must successfully command it in order to gain control.Wraith, Incorporeal Entity: ?Zombie: At 2nd level, the death mage may animate 2 HD worth of skeletons or zombies. To do so, the death mage must spend an hour uninterrupted, performing the dark rites that will bring undeath to the corpse(s). The bodies that are to be animated must be appropriate for the sort of undead the death mage wishes to create. For instance, corpses that are still fleshy cannot be animated as skeletons, while skeletal corpses cannot be animated as zombies.The death mage may animate up to 4 HD worth of undead at 4th level, 6 HD at 6th level, 8 HD at 8th level, and 10 HD at 10th level. Undead animated by the death mage in this way last 1 week per level in this prestige class. Afterward, the undead quit functioning and cannot be animated again.Create Undead Necromancy power.Intelligent Undead Minion Skeleton: Skeletons and zombies created by a death mage of at least 5th level have a 3 Intelligence and can follow more complex orders than undead of normal manufacture.Intelligent Undead Minion Zombie: Skeletons and zombies created by a death mage of at least 5th level have a 3 Intelligence and can follow more complex orders than undead of normal manufacture.Vrykyl, Magic-Using Undead: ?Create undead: This necromancy power makes possible the creation of an undead creature. The cost for the power is per Hit Die of the undead created. (For the undead’s stats, see “Size” above.) Since undead are created by Hit Die, the Hit Dice may be separated into individuals or combined for a single creature. For instance, if a spell can create 6 HD worth of zombies, you can create six 1-HD zombies, or three 2-HD zombies, or two 3-HD zombies, or any combination thereof. However, size still plays a part in the HD of undead as explained earlier in this chapter. An undead creature with less than 1 HD (1/8 HD, 1/4 HD, etc.) has a minimum cost of 2 to create. Cost: 2 per Hit Die.</blockquote>
