Create crypt servant

Create crypt servant was a necromancy spell unique to Zakhara, the Land of Fate. This spell was usable by wizards and priests (clerics).

Effects
Create crypt servant was used, similarly to the simpler animate dead, to reanimate the body of a deceased person as a special undead called crypt servant, that was especially suited to protect and maintain a designated tomb. The spell had to be performed at the burial place intended as the servant's domain in order to function. Apart from conventional means, a crypt servant could be destroyed by the reversed form of this spell, destroy crypt servant, or dispel magic. The spell intended for the even more powerful undead, destroy crypt thing, was also effective against a crypt servant.

Components
Apart from an intact corpse, this spell only needed verbal and somatic components.

History
This spell was originally employed in the ruined kingdoms of Kadar and Nog.
