Spell

Obey

Created by Bobbyx

This enchantment allows a caster to assert dominion over undead creatures that already exist, bending their will to serve the spellcaster's commands rather than requiring lengthy summoning rituals. Originally conceived by the archmage Fluder as a means to turn undead forces against their masters, the spell proves most effective against lesser undead such as zombies, skeletons, and ghouls, as well as moderately powerful creatures like wraiths and wights. The spell functions by overwhelming the creature's animating force with a competing magical compulsion, forcing it to acknowledge the caster as its new master. However, the spell's limitations became apparent when Fluder attempted to use it against a Death Knight—a powerful undead being whose magical resilience and sheer will proved too formidable to overcome through conventional domination. The spell requires intense concentration and direct line of sight to the target, and maintaining control over multiple undead simultaneously strains even experienced spellcasters. Once cast, the duration of control depends on the creature's original power level, with weaker undead remaining enslaved indefinitely while stronger specimens may eventually break free of the magical compulsion.
