Range	5ft / 1.5m
Duration	10 minutes
Cost	2-4 magic points
Material Cost	1 unit of powdered bone
Key Words	Necromancy
Description	This rite must be performed on a supernatural creature whose powers arise from the Plane of Undeath, with substantial corporeal magic (e.g. a ghoul or skeleton, but not a wraith or phantom). The target creature must be within the range of the rite for the whole casting time (i.e. if the creature moves out of range during the casting time, the rite has no effect); most casters will bind the undead within a ward for this purpose. The level of the rite is equal to the magic points spent in its casting. At the conclusion of this rite, provided the level of the rite is equal to or greater than the level of the target undead, the caster gains control of the undead. For the duration of the effect, the undead must carry out every instruction given to it, to the letter. If the undead is sentient, they may interpret commands to their advantage, but must still adhere strictly to the wording.
Skills	Necromancy
