Skill Rules & Full Description

This skill allows the character to bend any single undead or demon of any type within hearing range and line of sight to their will for 30 minutes. The targeted character will do exactly what the user commands; care should be taken that these commands are explicit since the target character may carry out the letter but not the spirit of the command. After the duration of this ability expires, the undead may seek revenge for being controlled, depending on its personality and the nature of the commands given. If given a command within the designated time period, the undead must attempt to accomplish and complete the command to the best of its ability, within the duration of this skill. If the duration should expire, all incomplete commands are forfeit, and the target character is free to react of its own free will. This skill can be used as a counter to the Follower of the Light turn skills. This skill can only be countered by a Follower of the Light skill, Servant of Darkness skill, or sorcery; necromancy or abilities will not counter this ability. A character cannot use this skill on themselves.

This skill requires the use of the character’s focus and a verbal, which must be at least 5 syllables, not including the skill’s name, and must contain some reasonably recognizable version of the name of the skill.
