NAME
animate dead - brings corpses back to life

SYNOPSIS
cast 'animate dead' <name of corpse>

DESCRIPTION
This powerful necromantic spell is able to enchant a corpse with new
life, turning it into a zombie existing only to fight for the caster.
This undead creatures will serve unquestioningly, no matter what tasks it
is called upon to perform. A summoning stone is necessary for this spell
to be effective, since it enables the deceased's essence to reunite with
the body.

Zombies can be difficult to control, and successful continuation of this
spell depends on the caster's sanity and knowledge attributes to keep
the animated being under restraint.
