Ghoul Lattice

Stealing corpses from graveyards for raw materials can be a time-consuming task without the use of this spell. Casting it creates a small tunnel that extends chaotically from the point where the spell was cast and then divides into a series of shafts, connecting with any number of graves or other subterranean pockets within the area of effect.

The tunnels are 4 feet in diameter, circular, and an average of 6 feet below the surface. The tunnels intersect in a maze-like fashion, but the only place they emerge at the surface is at the point where the caster stands. (If cast underground, the tunnels never reach the surface.) The spell creates a random latticework of tunnels through which new undead minions can be summoned or necromantic spell components harvested.

The material components for this spell are a long fingernail and a pinch of dirt from a grave.

Notes: Restricted to necromancers and undead spellcasters; uncommon.
