'''Syntax: Raise <what> as <undead type>'''

'''Raise Undead'''<br>
The dead are a fertile recruiting ground for the experienced Necromancer, and
it is from the ranks of the deceased that his following will be raised. While
the soul that once dwelt within is destroyed utterly by the ritual, the cadaver
can be made a suitable recepticle for one of the unquiet spirits with whom
Necromancers commune. The newly raised Undead minion will be fanatically loyal
and fight for the Necromancer until destroyed. However, due to the strain in
maintaining the cadaver as a suitable vessel for the Undead spirit, the
Necromancer will find his own life force slowly withering for as long as it is
maintained.

There are several types of Undead spirit which can be raised, each with their
own advantages and disadvantages. However, the higher level ones are
significantly more powerful than the low:
