Area of Effect:  Special

This spell creates a higher form of undead, a ghoul, from the body of any humanoid smaller than an ogre. The body must be reasonably intact, and must have obtained at least fifth level in any class before death. The ghoul usually obeys the commands of its animator, though it is free willed. If the wizard appears weak or vulnerable, the ghoul will turn on him. This is not a common occurrence, as ghouls tend to be cowards. They will not carry out suicidal requests.
