  • Skeleton Physiology
  • Zombie Physiology

Limitations

• Reanimated targets may accidentally become zombies, undead or ghouls.
• Reanimation may be limited to those that the user has killed.
• Using this on long dead creatures can be tricky for beginners.
• Users may have limits for how many corpses they may animate at once and/or how many they may have active and controlled at once.
• May be temporary.
