Unholy Ghost Manipulation
This dark incantation allows the caster to commune with and command the restless spirits that linger between the mortal plane and the void. The spell draws upon profane energies to establish dominion over incorporeal entities, bending their spectral forms to the caster's will. Those who master this forbidden art can compel ghosts to reveal long-buried secrets, move objects from beyond the grave, or even turn these vengeful spirits against their enemies. The magic requires a strong connection to necrotic forces and demands a terrible price from the caster's own life essence. Practitioners must speak words of power in tongues long forgotten by the living world, inscribing profane symbols that shimmer with sickly green light. The spell's influence weakens considerably in places of sanctity and divine protection, making it most potent in locations steeped in tragedy and sorrow. Those who dare invoke this magic risk attracting the attention of even darker entities that hunger for such displays of unholy power.
