Creation

This spell turns corpses into re-animated skeletons that obey your spoken commands. When used the spell caster must perform a ritual that allows the caster to commune with the departed, and ask for their permission to use the corpse. If granted the spell caster can begin to cast the spell. If the caster attempts to cast the spell after the refusal of one's corpse the spell fails and the caster must make a DC 15 will save or take 1d4 damage. (If the caster has the Craft Construct feat they may also turn the corpse into a homunculus, however, they must still follow the rules of Craft Construct.) Once created the re-animated corpse will NOT have the undead tag, instead, it will have construct. 

The re-animated can be made to follow you, or they can be made to remain in an area and attack any creature (or just a specific kind of creature) entering the place. They remain animated until they are destroyed. Once destroyed they can not be reanimated for 1d4 days.

Regardless of the type of re-animated, you create with this spell, you can’t create more HD of reanimated than twice your caster level with a single casting of Craft Dead. 

The re-animated you create remain under your control indefinitely. No matter how many times you use this spell, however, you can control only 4 HD worth of re-animated creatures per caster level. If you exceed this number, all the newly created creatures fall under your control, and any excess reanimated from previous castings become uncontrolled. You choose which creatures are released. 

* - (A drop of blood, An onyx gem worth 25gp per HD of the creature, Arcaic-plasma, 10gp worth of incense, permission of the departed)
