Spell
Undead
The Undead spell summons a horde of reanimated corpses, rising from the earth to serve the caster's bidding. With a wave of the hand, the fallen are reborn as loyal, shambling minions, their lifeless eyes burning with a sinister glow. This dark magic, however, comes at a price. The wizard who wields the Undead spell must be prepared to face the consequences, as the spell's power can quickly spiral out of control, leading to unforeseen and potentially devastating results. The undead legions may turn on their master, or the spell's effects may linger, corrupting the land and summoning even more unholy creatures to the caster's side. Wielding the Undead spell requires great caution and a strong will, for the temptation of its power can be difficult to resist.
