This spell allows the caster to cause a human or elven wizard or gnome illusionist to die and become a spectral wizard. If the spell is cast on an unwilling recipient, the victim is allowed a saving throw vs. death magic. A successful saving throw negates the spell.
In the process of dying and becoming undead, the spell’s recipient is drained of 1d4 levels.
Once animated, the spectral wizard is free-willed, but any utterance from its creator acts as a suggestion spell on the spectral wizard.
Only a wish spell can free a spectral wizard of its undead state. Depending on the wording of the wish, the individual may remain dead unless further magic is used; if the wizard is restored to life, there is a 50% chance that he will be restored with his original levels intact. It is possible that another undiscovered process may restore the spectral wizard.
