Noska Trades' Immortal Mount
(Alteration, Necromancy)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Permanent
Casting Time:  1 turn
Area of Effect:  Creature touched
Saving Throw:  Negates

This spell enables the wizard to convert his mount into a gruesome undead creature. The mount is allowed a saving throw versus death magic. If this saving throw fails the mount must make a system shock roll, and if it fails this roll it dies before the spell is completed, thereby negating the effects of the spell.
The mount turns jet-black with glowing red eyes and appears as if its skin was pulled tightly over its bones. The mounts skin becomes leathery, decreasing its Armour Class by 2. It acquires an additional Hit Die and retains its previous movement rate and form (i.e., flying mounts can still fly). The mounts maximum encumbrance increases by 200 pounds and it also never grows tired.
The wizard needs a vial made from the bones of a creature the same as the mount. The vial must be filled with demon ichor.
