Create Death Tyrant (Priest Spell)

This spell imbues a dead beholder with energy from the Negative Material Plane, permanently trans­forming it into a death tyrant. In addition, the spell allows the priest to instruct the death tyrant as to how it will receive orders in the future. The death tyrant will obey the caster for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round for every level of the caster. After that, the caster must use the control death tyrant spell in order to maintain control.
Good-aligned priests suffer great punishment for using this spell (decided by the DM).
The creation of a death tyrant requires an elab­orate ritual. The cost of the material components is about 3,000 gp.
Notes: Restricted to elder orbs (common) and evil priests or 18 or better Intelligence (very rare).
