At which time, if the player has any treasure, they present it to the Necromancer.

This allows the Necromancer to reserve a spell for later use. The spells the Necromancer is allowed to reserve depends on the character's rank. After Dirge is cast, the Necromancer then casts the spell to be reserved and then writes the name of the spell on the ribbon. (deducting the proper amount of spell points for each spell). Dirge must be cast for each spell to be reserved. When the Necromancer is ready to use the spell, the player wraps the cloth around their hand and recites the final line of that spell before casting the reserved spell.

The caster needs only to read the spell once within a 15 ft radius to raise all the fallen players within (for example, a 13 rank Necromancer can raise 6 total zombies and there are 3 dead characters around him within a 15' radius. The Necromancer reads the spell and raises the 3 players -- at a total cost of 2 points. Then the Necromancer walks over to another area where there are 4 fallen players. The Necromancer reads the spell again and is able to choose which three of the four are to be raised as zombies). Zombies must do as the Necromancer instructs them. Zombies may move and fight as normal except they cannot run. Zombies cannot talk (In character) unless placed under a spell. All zombies have an Armor class of 5 and if they are killed again, the spell is lifted. If the spellcaster dies for any reason, all zombies under his control die instantly.
