Seed: Animate

This Seed draws disembodied planar spirits into the corpses of the dead, re-animating them completely under the control of the caster.

• The combined ranks of all undead under a caster's control may not exceed the caster's Seed: Animate Rank x 5.
• Once an undead is destroyed (reaches 0 HP) it cannot be reanimated.

Favored Seed: Sorcerers with a Chosen Plane of Stygia increase the combined ranks of all undead they may control to Seed: Animate Rank x 6. This further increases to Rank x 11 at Rank 5.
