Unholy Rebirth

You invoke profane rites and rituals to bring the deceased back to life as a free-willed undead creature. When you touch a corpse, you infuse it with necromantic energy, reanimating it as an intelligent and free-willed undead being. This creature retains its former personality, memories, and alignment.

The following limitations and considerations apply to this spell:

• The corpse must have been deceased for no longer than 1 year.
• The revived undead retains all the memories, skills, and abilities it possessed in life.
• The reanimated undead may choose to follow or reject your commands, based on their own desires and alignment.
• This spell may have significant ethical and moral consequences, both in the campaign world and for the character casting it.
• The reanimated undead is considered an intelligent and free-willed creature and is no longer under the control of the caster.

At Higher Levels: Using a higher-level spell slot does not affect the spell's effectiveness.
