The spell will empower the caster with the power to bring the dead back to undead to serve in their afterlife. A part of the slained enemies will rise from the dead and turn into mindless zombies and join your army. The more powerful the archmage, the more zombies can be raised among the fallen ranks. However, this spell will drain part of your mana to sustain the zombies.

Blitz Server Test

This spell is utter crap for eradication mages - Blitz server @UM15, @SL 513.  (Oct 2023)

Example 1 (defense)

1. You killed xxx (#xxx)'s 11764/45981 units and lost 11685/74000 units.
2. Total Unit Power Loss of xxx (#xxx) is 4,675,227
3. Total Unit Power Loss of yyy (#yyy) is 5,466,456 (40.31%)
4. 9 units gained their second lives as truthful followers of yyy (#yyy).

This amounts to a measly ~0.4% NP of damage taken/done of liches.

Example 2 (defense)

1. You killed xxx (#xxx)'s 36148/177740 units and lost 9263/78189 units.
2. Total Unit Power Loss of xxx (#xxx) is 2,556,581 
3. Total Unit Power Loss of yyy (#yyy) is 2,152,990 (26.66%)
4. 29 units gained their second lives as truthful followers of yyy (#yyy).

Not sure why this creates more liches, probably some randomness but still absolutely negligble. ~2% of NP damage taken/done as liches.

Example 3 (attack)

1. You killed xxx (#xxx)'s 71060 units and lost 37201/93856 units.
2. Total Unit Power Loss of xxx (#xxx) is 2,842,400 
3. Total Unit Power Loss of yyy (#yyy) is 545,817 (10.34%)
4. 57 units gained their second lives as truthful followers of yyy (#yyy).

No freaking clue what is going on. 5% of damage dealt, or 20% of damage taken?

TLDR: unreliable garbage enchantment not worth wasting skill points on UM for...
