This caster can use this spell on any dead or undead body of size S (small) or larger. Once cast, the spell forges a link that allows the caster to see and hear anything that the corpse can. The caster cannot control the undead creature through this spell, but must rely upon the creature's orders and instincts to provide the appropriate views. The more self-willed and intelligent the undead, the better the chance the caster will see or hear something useful. A dead body, or an undead creature that willingly serves the caster receives no saving throw.
Although the corpse must be within 40 yards when the spell is cast, it can move up to 1 mile away and still transmit to the caster. On the Demiplane of Dread, the spell ceases to work if the caster and corpse are in different domains and the borders of either domain (or any intervening domain) close.
The material components for this spell are an eye and ear of a dead man. Casting this spell on the Demiplane of Dread requires a Ravenloft powers check.
Notes: Common for priests from the Demiplane of Dread with major access to the Necromantic sphere.
