Description

This spell allows you to animate a single medium or large corpse of a creature 18 HD or less into a crypt thing (Bestiary 2 page 60). This spell must be cast in the area the creature is to guard or it fails. The corpse must be mostly intact and must be humanoid-shaped and have a skeletal system or structure. Only one crypt thing is created with this spell, and it remains in the area where it was created until destroyed.

The black gem is placed inside the mouth of the corpse. When the corpse animates, the gem is destroyed.
