Raise

               --=== Help for Necromancer Command (raise) ===--

Syntax: Raise <what> as <undead type>

Raise Undead
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:

Wraith	19mp	An incorporeal minion who is partially resistant to normal attacks like a Wight, but who also fades in and out of existence and whose icy touch causes terrible suffering.
