Johan's Vile Revival

Johan's Vile Revival

• Level: 5th
• School: Necromancy
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of blood from the caster and a piece of the corpse)
• Duration: 24 hours

Description: This powerful necromantic spell allows the caster to revive a fallen humanoid as a near-perfect simulacrum of the person they once were. Unlike a regular zombie, the revived corpse retains a semblance of its former intelligence and personality. For 24 hours, the caster can command the revived individual, and it will obey as though it were still alive, though its appearance is ghastly and unnerving. After the duration ends, the body decays rapidly and cannot be raised again by this spell.

Effect: The revived creature becomes an undead servant (use Ghoul stats but retains its ability to speak and understand languages it knew in life). The revived individual cannot regain its former memories but can follow the caster’s commands with a macabre sense of loyalty.
