Animate Zombie

Animate Zombie
Ritual Rank 4 [Binding]
Prerequisites: Divine Rank 4 or Eldritch Rank 5
Potency: 20
Components: A black onyx gem [Value: 25gp]
Cost: 1 Stamina Burn
Cast Time: 1 moment
Target: One humanoid corpse of size Tiny, Small, or Medium.
Effect: Placing the gem within the corpse's mouth, you begin a brief incantation. At the ritual's conclusion, the corpse is animated as a Humanoid Zombie of the same size as the base corpse. The corpse must be mostly intact for this ritual to succeed, though it can have numerous open wounds and rotting flesh.


You may choose at the time of its animation to automatically take control of the Zombie. You must allocate the required energy to maintain control as normal (see Controlling Undead Creatures).
