One of the first attempts to make "buff of intelligence and mind" reproduced by necromancers. Basically, the resurrected creatures are very stupid and ancient skeletons and zombies could not do even the simplest things - walk, understand speech. Also, necromancers could not boost their intelligence themselves, and for this they needed assistants from other schools of magic, so this spell was essential.
However, the first attempt was crowned with failure - the terrible sorcerer Zorkon tried to endow a living prisoner with increased intelligence, as he did with the dead one's, but the difference between them was revealed - the dead received a buff on the whole body because their body was united in their structure and had no mind or life at the time of resurrection, in the case of the living, the buff spread to all living cells of his body, which caused each of them to gain self-awareness. Because of this, the cells that made up the prisoner lost their order in movement and lifestyle, which caused his body to tear into pieces, rot, skin and organs to move to different places while he was still alive. After one minute, the buff subsided and the cells returned to normal state, but prisoner covered whole room by his body. This spell was banned in most magical societies, but violent magicians like Zorkon still frighten the world by reminding of its existence.
