Damage/Effect
You hold the diamond and touch a living humanoid during the entire casting of this spell, when the spell is completed the target instantly dies (no saving throw) and rises as a Death Knight that is permanently under your control. These Death Knights are able to summon a Skeletal Warhorse at will to serve as their mount.
You have a telepathic bond to all Death Knights created by this spell as long as you are on the same plane of existence as they are.
You may only have up to 5 Death Knights at one time.
* - (a Diamond worth at least 5000 gold pieces which the spell consumes)
