Animate any corpse or skeleton to act in the castor’s favor. It obeys simple commands such as “Attack” or “Defend” or “Hold” and simple requests can be asked of it with discretion from the Verse Master. The amount of MC required depends on the size of the target corpse. The corpses that are animated are not sentient and cannot think for themselves and are only animated by temporary mana and therefore have none of the memories or personalities of who they were before.
