At the conclusion of this rite, the target creature’s body or spirit rises as a supernatural creature whose powers derive from the Plane of Undeath (per [[Discern Nature of Undead]]) of a type specified by the caster, such as a skeleton, zombie or phantom, with a level equal to the level of the rite. The undead is not under the caster’s control when raised; for this reason, most casters raise undead in the middle of an active ward (see [[Necromantic Ward]]). |
