This is an improved version of the animate dead type spells. It will animate up to twice the caster's level Hit Dice of undead within a 60 yard radius. These undead have full hit points and be imbued with some of the Intelligence of the caster. While the spell is in effect, or as long as any of the undead remain, the caster's Intelligence will be lowered by one point. Note that this might make the caster unable to cast high level spells after this spell is cast. I.e., a wizard with Intelligence 16, will not be able to cast 8th-level spells while this spell is in effect. The Intelligence of these undead allows them to use weapons to effect, i.e., not just 1d6 but by weapon type for skeletons. The undead can use armour, bows, etc. Still, only zombies or skeletons can be made with this spell. The material component is a piece of bone from a lich.
