Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
This spell turns corpses into undead creatures that obey your
spoken commands. The undead can be made to follow you, or
they can be made to remain in place and attack any creature
(or a specific kind of creature) entering the area. They remain
animated until they are destroyed. A destroyed undead can't
be animated again.
You can create one or more undead creatures with a total
CR of no more than half your caster level. You can only create
one type of undead with each casting of this spell. Creating
undead requires special materials worth 1,000 credits × the
total CR of the undead created; these materials are consumed
as part of casting the spell.
The undead you create remain under your control indefinitely.
No matter how many times you use this spell, however, you can
control only a number of undead whose total CR is no greater
than your caster level. If you exceed this number, all the newly
created creatures fall under your control and any excess undead
from previous castings become uncontrolled. You choose which
creatures are released. Once released, such undead have no
particular feelings of loyalty to you, and in time they may grow
in power beyond the undead you can create.
The corpses you use must be as intact as the typical undead
of the type you choose to create. For example, a skeleton can
be created only from a mostly intact corpse (that has bones) or
skeleton. A zombie can be created only from a creature with a
physical anatomy.
