Animate Dead is a 3rd level spell in the School of Earth Magic. It permanently reanimates killed undead, allied units similar to Resurrection spell. However, unlike Resurrection, the effect is always permanent regardless of whether the hero has Earth Magic or on what level it is. ThantThant Thant the Necromancer starts with and specializes in the Animate Dead spell.

Discussion

The spell can appear only in Necropolis mage guild or on the adventure map (scholars or magic shrines). Basically Animate Dead is a better version of Resurrection, because its casting cost is cheaper and as a level three spell it is easier to acquire. It "resurrects" undead creatures as efficiently as Resurrection resurrects alive creatures. Naturally, the downside is that Animate Dead is only usable to undead creatures.
