This rite can cause any dead creature to rise in its
present state to do the bidding of the cleric. The creature retains the attributes
and skills it had while alive, but as a form of undead, is immune to all shock
and KO damage. Note that spells which allow casters to control undead will have
no effect, as the creatures were not animated by magic, but by unholy power.
Undead created in this manner will decay within three months when in a zone of
the priests influence, and in 24 hours in other areas.
