R: touch; T: corpse; D: [sum]/2 hours
Target is raised as a specific type of undead and is obedient to the caster. The undead is raised with [dice]x2 Grit Dice. When the spell’s duration ends, the corpse cannot be raised again.
The type of undead depends on the target and the number of [dice] invested. Its Flesh depends on the size of the target. Corpses may need to be specially prepared for certain undead.
1 [dice] | Skeleton, Zombie |
2 [dice] | Wight |
3 [dice] | Mummy |
4 [dice] | Something suitably terrifying |
When the spell ends, for every Grit Die it has, there is a 1-in-10 chance the undead remains active and outside your control. Otherwise, it collapses.
Instead of letting the spell expire, you can keep the [dice] invested instead. These never return to your pool until the undead is destroyed. Alternatively, use an extra 2 [dice] when casting to make the spell’s duration permanent.
