To work this miracle, the cleric must lay his hands
upon the forehead of a corpse, dead for no longer than one week. After reciting
the proper prayer, the corpse will return to something akin to life. Its Strength
will increase by +1, it will be incapable of feeling pain, and only by
destroying it (inflicting seven wounds) can it be stopped. The Perception and
Mind levels remain the same as they were in life. The undead will,
however, hold a loyal attitude toward the necromancer, and will react to
his attempts at persuasion accordingly.
