A much more potent spell than animate dead, this evil spell allows the character to create more powerful sorts of undead: ghasts, ghouls, shadow, wights, and wraiths. The following types of undead can be created by casters of the specified levels:
Cleric Level Undead Created ------------ --------------
11 or lower Ghoul 12–13 Shadow 14–15 Ghast 16–19 Wight 20 Wraith
The character may create less powerful undead than the character's level would indicate if the character choses. For example, at 16th level the character could decide to create a ghoul or shadow instead of a wight. Doing this may be a good idea, because created undead are not automatically under the control of their animator. The character may attempt to command the undead as it forms.
This spell must be cast at night.
