Command Corpse Company Formula

E/F/M:

This powerful dweomer confers the ability to marshal the forces of the newly dead, leading them in whatever endeavor the necromancer desires. All human and/or humanoid remains not dead beyond more that a number of days equal to the practitioner, tens of STEEP, which are in a radial area of one furlong centered on the necromancer, are subject to the Effect. These remains are then the exact equivalent of zombies when under the dweomer. Since large numbers of corpses are most often found at the scene of batik, this Casting is frequently used to launch a retributive strike.This is by no means the extent of its use, however, for corpses are quit useful in accomplishing dangerous or otherwise distasteful tasks such as inkling, construction, etc_ Note. that the necromancer must devote complete attention to the subjects, or else the Effect of the dweorner will terminate. and they will fall lifeless to the ground. For this reason. esters often designate an Undead or Unalive Lieutenant (qq.v.) to control the corpses while they pursue other courses of action.
