Create baneguard

Create baneguard was a divine magic spell available to clerics of Bane, the Black Hand. It animated a baneguard out of an intact skeleton. Other ways of creating a baneguard were discovered, but this spell was specific to Bane and did not spread to other faiths until after his "death" in the Year of Shadows, 1358 DR.
==Effects==
This spell took less than a minute to cast and the cleric had to touch the skeleton that was to be animated. Upon completion, the skeletal form rose, ready to attack.
==Components==
In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required as material components an intact skeleton of approximately human size or smaller, and 20 drops of blood from a true dragon.
==History==
This spell was originally developed by priests of Bane, the Lord of Darkness. Eventually other evil- and neutral-aligned faiths learned this spell or a variant of it, and it was often called just create undead.
