Mummy Creation - Old Empire

With this spell, the wizard can animate up to one corpse per four levels of experience (all fractions are rounded down). The corpses must be properly prepared: Each requires an embalming fluid that costs 1,400 gp and each body must be properly wrapped and prepared, which requires six full hours each.

When activated by this spell, these corpses have all of the abilities, including hit points, of mummies (see the Monstrous Manual). When the spell has run its course, or when the mummies are destroyed, the corpses crumble to dust. Usually only the bodies of slave-servitors are treated in this fashion.

The material component is mummy dust.

Notes: Uncommon spell. As a Forgotten Realms Old Empire spell, initial exposure requires a mentor or a read Southern magic spell.
