Also, the damage thussustained cannot be healed in any other

way than by natural healing, thus the wizard willregain only 1 Hp per day of rest. Note that if thecaster so wishes, he could cast a spell whosedraining would kill him, in which case only aresurrect, wish, or the like would bring him backto life.The spell opens this link until the next spell is cast,or until an amount of turns has elapsed equal tothe caster's level of experience.

Material plane. Thus ensorcelled the mage is ableto repair damage suffered by corporeal undeadwith a simple touch, in effect "healing" their bodies- mending bones, replacing lost flesh ormusculature, etc. The mage may repair 1d4 pointsper level, to a maximum of 10d4. These pointsneed not be expended on a single creature, butinstead may be divided among as many creaturesas the caster has dice of healing - i.e. if anecromancer can restore 6d4 damage, he mayrestore 1d4 a piece on as many as 6 creatures. Thewizard must state the number of dice he wishes tobestow on a particular undead before touching itand rolling for results. One creature can be"healed" each full round, regardless of the numberof dice used, and none can be raised above itsnormal maximum.

Example: Kafir, an 8th level necromancer, castsGrymryck's Reformation, allowing him to restore8d4 points to injured undead. He wishes to heal 4zombies, nearly butchered by some intrepidadvenuturers. The first is badly damaged, andKafir decides to expend 3d4 on it, restoring 9 of itslost 11 hit points. The second and third are lessbeaten, and each receives 2d4 of healing, whichbring them close to their maximum hit points. Thelast is only down 2 hit points, and Kafir's last d4restores 4, healing the zombie its lost 2 - the other 2points are lost. Healing the 4 zombies took 4rounds in addition to the round required forcasting.

Grymryck's Reformation only affects undead thatstill have hit points, and thus may not be used to"reanimate" an undead destroyed by spell orcombat. Further this spell can not regenerate lostlimbs and such, nor can it return a body to a betterstate than that which it was in immediatley beforeit was damaged, thus flesh cannot be created onskeletons, nor a semblance of life given to zombies.The caster need not use this spell only on undeadhe created or controls, but on ghouls, ghasts,vampires or even liches if such were desirable.However, this spell provides no protection againstthe affects of touching some of these horrors.Grymryck's Reformation can only be used oncorporeal undead, and has absolutely no effect onthe inanimate dead.While the spell is in effect, the caster's handsradiate evil strongly. Although the mage mayhandle objects and defend himself witoutconsequence, he is unable to cast spells other thanthose of the Necromantic school, and cannot castany other touch-based necromantic spells withoutfoiling the Reformation. The spell may also bedissipated if the caster is struck with a holy symbol

or holy water, or if he is in the area of a Dispel Evil- in these cases he must save vs. spell to keep theReformationintact. Unless spoiled in some fashion,the spell lasts for 1 round per caster level, or untilall available dice of restoration are expended.The material components are a small amount ofdirt from a grave and a few drops of the caster'sblood, both of which are smeared over the caster'shands.

Components: V,S,MDuration: 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: Creature TouchedSaving Throw: Negate

This spell alters the blood of the recipient to solidice, giving the person several benefits. The first isthe fact that caster suffers only half damage fromall weapon attacks, as no blood is lost from cuts orcrushed veins, and that the ice makes harming thesofter tissues more difficult. Also, the recipientreceives a +4 bonus against any Charm-Type spell,as the icy blood makes the spell recipient cold andimpassionate. Since the character's blood is pureice, he also gains immunity to all normal cold, andsubtracts -2 from all cold damage (minimum 1point) die rolls.

Unfortunately, the recipient becomes extremelyvulnerable to fire, suffering double damage fromany fire attack (The Hands of Steam spell does notdo double damage to an Ice Bloodrecipient.Instead, normal damage is taken and the Ice Blood spell is negated). The character also tires twice asquickly in hot weather, and treats his personalbody temperature as +50 higher in weather of 0 Fahrenheit or above.

Also, because of the extreme dulling of emotions,the spell recipient cannot Beserk or instigate alycanthropic alteration under his own will, thoughmagic can instigate the change or beserkial rage.

The material component of this spell is severalshards of ice stuck into the spell recipient's arm.

Incorporate Skeleton (Necromancy)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 5 roundsArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell is similar to the 5th level spell AnimateDead. It creates the lowest form of undead creature,the skeleton. The spell animates the remains of afallen humanoid, monster, or animal, imbuing itwith part of the caster's life force, creatingskeletons as described in the AD&D Monstrous Manual . In addition, fallen small and tiny creaturescan be made into skeletons with HD, conservingall other properties.However, this spell has great disadvantagescompared to its 5th level counterpart. Asmentioned before, instead of returning a portion ofthe spirit that inhabited the body during life to

animate the corpse, the mage uses his/her lifeforce to animate the corpse. Note that this allowsthe dead one's spirit to rest without disturbingthem in any way. This would allow good andneutral-aligned wizards to animate bodies withless alignment related implications. Upon thecreation of a skeleton, its hit points are rolled andthe caster must attempt to make a successfulwisdom check. If the wisdom check fails, theskeleton collapses, losing the life force that wasinfused into it and its hit points are deducted fromthe caster's total hit points, accounting for theessence that was used in the attempt to animatethe corpse. If the check is successful, the caster notonly creates the skeleton but can also command itby will, due to the link between their life forces.The skeleton's hit points are still deducted from thecaster's total though, since his/her life force wasstill used. As the caster loses hit points, he/shebegins to grow pale and sickly. If the caster dropsto zero hit points or less, he/she falls unconsciousand has a number of rounds equal to his/herconstitution score minus the number of pointsbelow zero to be healed magically. If the caster isnot healed within this time, he/she dies with nochance of being raised or resurrected save bymeans of a wish. Each time this spell is cast, thecaster may animate a number of skeletons equal tohis/her level. A wisdom check must be made foreach skeleton to see if it was successfullyanimated.The material component for this spell is a drop ofthe caster's blood and a bit of bone from agraveyard.
