Skyrift DM's Note: Undead Creation

This is a powerful spell, even for a 9th level one.
You may wish to restrict it to not being cast more
than once a month, or only allow it to be cast on
auspicious times of the year (such as the winter
solstice, or Mabar being coterminous).

Wail of the Banshee

Undead Creation DM's Note: Wail of the Banshee

This spell is based on the banshee's own ability.
However, if you find that too powerful, an
alternative version is presented.
