Spell Descriptions
Rank One
Pacify Undead (single target)
Casting time: 1 round
Range: 10m, one target
Duration: Combat or lull or 10min, whichever comes first
MP cost: 2mp
The undead must make a willpower x3 roll to resist this spell. If the undead has no willpower stat or the GM regards them as ‘chump’ undead (zombies, skeletons) they get no roll to resist. Should the target fail to resist, they won’t notice the life signatures of anything more than 3m away. (That means if you get within 3m of the undead you have pacified it will probably attack you.) If the undead is attacked, it will break this spell.

Rank Three
Mask Life Signal
Casting time: 5 rounds
Range: Self
Duration: 1 hour
MP cost: 4mp
This removes from the undead’s perception that you are ‘alive’. You now have the oddity of a walking chair to them. For stupid undead, this is not a problem though they may follow you around as it is a novelty. Or not. If you attack them, the undead will attempt to fight the ‘evil walking chair’ because it hurt them. But the spark of life which causes the undead to automatically attack is hidden. On intelligent undead, this may confuse them if you hold still. Moving and such will probably get them to attack.

Plus, if you make them out of loved ones of your enemies, they cause lovely sanity damage to them. These creatures will attack until killed. If two are unable to reach combat, they will (if given the command) take fallen enemies back to the necromancer so that more can be made. This zombie will obey simple commands from the caster and will not attack the caster. This spell requires a corpse in good condition as it turns it into the zombie.

Casting time: 1 minute
Range: Appears adjacent to you, then may move up to 100m away
Duration: Until it dies or you dismiss it
MP cost: 12mp
To cast this spell, you must have some of the element available to serve as a material component. As long as the spell is active, you cannot regenerate the MP you spent to cast it. If you and the elemental are more than 100m apart, the spell ends as if you had dismissed it. The caster always has a rough idea ("over that way") where the elemental is. {Note - if the necro has ‘drain MP’ they can try to steal MP, use cards, etc}
Skeleton
Travel rate: 40KM/day
Maneuver%; Combat move: 30%; 3/10m
To hit/Damage: 30%/d8
Armor/HP: Two/10 (requires magic or opposite element to hit)
Special attacks: If out of melee range, may shoot/throw ‘death magic’ at 30%/d6 damage (indefinitely), range 10m.
Special defenses: Only takes damage from magical attacks and/or the opposite element.
Special abilities:
Special weaknesses: takes +4 bumps damage from the opposite element (life magic).
Description: Human or humanoid skeleton. (Sanity loss: 1/d6, 12 max toward ‘Skeleton’)
Diet: None
Treasure: None
Where/when found: Special or placed only
Default disposition toward PC's: Neutral (unless ordered otherwise)
Other notes: Simple commands only, all humans (etc) look alike to it, etc. It is stupid.
Additional notes: The pet goes away between game sessions. Also, going into any zone which requires a roll to see if magic works necessitates a roll (made by the caster) for the pet as soon as the pet passes into the new zone. Failing that roll means the pet goes away/is destroyed, etc. Note that MP that were 'tied up by the pet' do not return immediately after the pet is destroyed - the caster must do the usual eight hour sleep to get them back. If they have the pet and get eight hours sleep, those MP tied up in this spell just don't regenerate.
