Reanimation - With this ability, a sandestin can reanimate the dead. Reanimation turns bones into skeletons, fresh corpses into zombies and desiccated corpses into mummies. The undead are at the command of the magician, and perform whatever tasks they are assigned mindlessly and exactly. Undead suffer no fatigue, feel no pain, carry no moral anguish, but usually smell terrible. Reanimation does not prevent ongoing putrefaction (unless the corpse is preserved in some way, either chemically or due to the environment), and so a reanimated corpse will eventually see the flesh slough from its bones and so become a skeleton. Control of the undead is directed by the sandestin animating them, so a magician merely needs to give his summoned servitor commands as to what tasks the undead should perform. However, the sandestin’s obedience is wholly dependent on how mischievous or belligerent it wishes to be. |
