Rank 1 - Animate Dead

Range: 10 yards
Target: Single Corpse
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 Minute Ritual
Casting: Verbal, Somatic
Effect: A target Medium sized corpse is raised as a Revenant of any type equal or lower than the Rank of the Seed. See Monster Guide for example Revenants.

The player may only have maximum combined Ranks of undead under his control equal to 5 x Rank. Undead can follow simple, one sentence instructions such as "Attack the enemy", "Guard the door" or "Defend me" and will continue to do so until given a different instruction. Each type of undead will respond to individual orders separately if the caster desires, so a caster might order zombies to guard a door and skeletons to attack.

The undead's sense of "friend or foe" is based on that of the caster, and is lost if the caster dies or otherwise loses control of their undead. Therefor, zombies under the control of a player who dies may turn to attack a formerly friendly target. If the undead are slain (reaching 0 HP) they may not be re-animated.

Push: +1 Target - An additional corpse is required for each additional target.
