This can either imbue nearby dead bodies with negative energy, making them undead or summon forth denizens of the Gray to serve him for the duration of the spell. If the latter option is chosen, these undead follow the caster’s orders unquestioningly, but demand some payment in return. Generally, this equates to a number of living creatures whose total HD equal the number of zombies summoned. If the caster cannot supply this, the zombies take him into the Gray instead. Bodies animated simply return to corpses when the spell expires. The caster can animate or summon a number of zombies up to his caster level. Summoned zombies become shadowy and melt back into the Gray is destroyed.Material Components: The material components for this spell are a gray cloth and a piece of bone.Unliving IdentityNecromancyLevel: Wiz 7, Clr 7, Dead Heart 5Components: V, S, M, XPCasting Time: 1 roundRange: TouchTarget: 1 exoskeleton, skeleton, or zombieDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: Will negatesSpell Resistance: YesThis spell affects mindless animated undead, namely exoskeletons, skeletons, and zombies. Unliving identity restores personality, consciousness, alignment, memory, identity, skills, class, levels ... everything except free will or life. The creature is still undead, and if he was previously controlled, he continues to be controlled and bound to the tasks that his master assigns. The result is what Terrors of the Dead Lands describes as a thinking zombie, skeleton, or exoskeleton.Note that spirits of the land and the elements (earth, air, fire and water) do not give their powers to the undead, so a thinking zombie who had been an elemental cleric in life does not regain his spells or his ability to affect undead. The paraelements and the gray are not as choosy, though; a thinking skeleton that had been a cleric of silt could continue to operate as a silt cleric.Note that many creatures prefer not to return from the Gray to inhabit an undead body—if the creature is unwilling to return, it gets a Will saving throw to avoid this. If the thinking zombie is too powerful to be normally controlled by his master, he gets a Will saving throw every week to break free of his master’s control. What the thinking undead does then is anyone’s guess. Good thinking undead, once free, tend to put a quick end to their unnatural existence.Material Components: Any article significant to the undead creature’s former life, such as an article of clothing or equipment, a favorite item, etc.Focus: XP cost is 20 XP per level of the creature while it was alive.</blockquote>
