If you succeed on a touch attack against an undead foe, you can force them to make a Charisma saving throw or return to its base body in undead form. Skeletons fall to bones, shadows and ghosts dissipate, zombies crumbles. More powerful undead with extra methods of surviving such as vampires or liches only have this particular body temporarily become a corpse before they go to other methods of regeneration (they only lose this body permanently after one minute). If you keep the spell active for one minute, the undead remains this way until revived again or brought into a new body, essentially being treated as having this body dropped to 0 hp.
As a secondary use, this spell can be cast on an already dead body as a ritual spell to permanently shield that body from being brought back as any form of undead (except for the practices of dispelling magic). When used as a ritual spell, the spell consumes the two coins.
