This spell is a version of animate dead developed for immediate battlefield use. It animates corpses in the same manner as the 5th-level spell, but the magic only lasts for a limited time. Also, undead army is very quick, requiring only a single word and a gesture. Those animated resemble ghouls in all ways, including having 2 HD each. The wizard can animate one of these creatures for every two levels (round up). The ghouls created by this spell are unusually hard to turn: treat them as if they were wraiths. They cannot be commanded or disrupted (command results are ignored; disrupted results are treated as a turn).
