Notes
- Patch 3 introduced a bug where skeletons summoned by this spell do not have weapons.
s with the Pact of the Tome Pact Boon can cast this spell once per Long Rest once they receive Deepened Pact at level 5.- It is important to note that most friendly and neutral NPCs will respond to undead minions with horror, causing them to express alarm and flee from proximity of the thralls, in some cases to their death. To avoid this, selecting the chain icon next to the summoner player and leaving the thrall at some distance before interacting with certain vendors or achievement related NPCs is advised.
- Casting with a level 4 spellslot allows to raise 3 minions instead of 1.
- Casting with a level 5 spellslot allows to raise a ghoul or a flying ghoul.
