Create Ghoul
Create Ghoul
Ritual Rank 6
Prerequisites: Divine or Eldritch Rank 5
Potency: 30
Components: A black onyx gem [Value: 50gp], grave dirt, and brackish water.
Cost: 3 Stamina Allocation that cannot be recovered until the Ghoul is dismissed.
Cast Time: 1 hour (must be cast at night)
Target: One humanoid corpse.
Effect: Under the cover of night, you place the gem within the corpse's mouth and begin to chant. Throughout the process you alternately sprinkle the corpse with grave dirt and brackish water. At the ritual's conclusion, the corpse rises as a Ghoul. The corpse must be mostly intact for this ritual to succeed, though it can have numerous open wounds and rotting flesh.
Unlike animated creatures, the Ghoul cannot automatically be brought under you control when it rises. You may, however, attempt to take control of the newly created creature by utilizing a Command Undead Spell or similar ability. See Controlling Undead Creatures for more information.
