Necromantic Rituals

These are the dark rites of the necromancer. The accursed temple is raised inside an abandoned mausoleum or crypt at a cost of at least a year and 100,000 GP in expenses and offerings to the powers of the dark realms. Once complete it draws one undead creature, or even a lesser demon or devil, each evening, up to 13 at a time, all serving the necromancer until released or destroyed; losses are replaced at the same rate while the temple stands, and the Game Judge decides what arrives.

A necromantic golem of flesh or graveyard clay takes a month and is much like a clay golem, except that it can be commanded only through a graven image carved over a week from a mandrake root found under a hangman's gibbet. Through it the necromancer controls the golem at any distance and sees and hears through its senses; destroying either the golem or the image destroys the other.

The uzat is an eye-shaped amulet of a 13-carat onyx set in 7 oz of gold, made in a month, that can be made to hold 7 spells, chosen from Protection from Good, Protection from Evil and the Evil Eye.
