Xyrades used his newfound black magic to bind his dead companion’s spirit to his will, and set him to translating shards.Ghoul: ?Reanimated Dead: ?The Cannibal RitualBy ritually consuming the bodies of the dead, the Charnel God’s followers come closer to their god. This incantation transforms those partaking in the unholy feast into ghouls for a limited time. If perfected, the incantation could make this transformation permanent, and give the Charnel God’s followers a manner of immortality—as undead. The most complete copy of this incantation is found in the dreaded Ghoul’s Manuscript, long thought destroyed by witch hunters in their crusade against necromancy.School: NecromancyLevel: 6thDC: 24 (34 + 4 multiple targets - 6 duration -2 F -1 XP -5 B)Components: V, S, M, B, XPMaterial Component: A fresh humanoid corpse, and tools to butcher and cook it.Backlash: All subjects of this incantation must make a Will saving throw (DC 16 + caster’s Cha modifier) or have their alignment changed to chaotic evil permanently. The caster and any willing participants in the Cannibal Ritual automatically fail this roll. (A caster who is already chaotic evil may take 10 on the Knowledge roll.)XP Cost: 100 XPCasting Time: 10 minutes per check; 6 successes requiredRange: Close (55 ft.)Target: One or more creaturesDuration: 12 hours (one night)Saving Throw: None (or Will negates)Spell Resistance: NoSuccess: If the ritualist succeeds on his Knowledge (forbidden) check, every character who ate the specially prepared flesh is transformed into a ghoul for the remainder of the night (no save allowed), gaining the strength and hunger of an undead corpse-eater. Apply the Ritual Ghoul template (see below) to each recipient.Failure: If the ritualist fails his check, none of the subjects are transformed, but all are afflicted by an unholy craving for human flesh that lasts for 10 minutes times the margin of failure. (For example, if the check failed by 6, then the hunger lasts for 60 minutes.) This compulsion may be resisted for 10 minutes with a successful DC 15 Will save.Enslaving the DeadThis incantation traps the soul of the deceased in a bodiless undead state, under the command of the caster.School: NecromancyLevel: 9thDC: 30 (34 - 2 range -1 M - 1 B)The caster must be trained in the Knowledge (religion) skill. If he is not, the DC of the Knowledge (forbidden) check increases by +4.Components: V, S, M, BMaterial Component: The corpse of the dead creature to be enslaved, and a black onyx gem worth at least 50 gp per HD of the deceased creature.Backlash: When the shadow is created, everyone present must succeed on a DC 15 Will save or gain 1 Insanity Point. In addition, the caster automatically acquires 1 Insanity Point for the blasphemy of creating and enslaving an undead.Casting Time: 10 minutes per check; 9 successes required.Range: TouchTarget: One dead creatureDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoSuccess: If the caster succeeds on his Knowledge (forbidden) check, a shadow is created. This shadow has as many HD as the deceased character did.(If the GM owns the Advanced Bestiary, apply the dread shadow template instead, with the modifications listed in the “Creating a Normal Shadow” sidebar.)This shadow is compelled to serve its creator (no saving throw). Threatening the shadow does not cancel this effect—the spirit is truly at the mercy of the caster’s whims.Failure: If the caster fails his check, the incantation fails, and the corpse can never again be subject to any form of necromantic spell or effect.Eldest Child (Sp) Between his regular performance of the Cannibal Ritual and the voice of the Charnel God in his head, Cleaves gains a +2 competence bonus with that incantation. He may also assume the form of a ritual ghoul at will.</blockquote>
