The Doom of Bane

6th-level necromancy (Cleric)


  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Range: Touch
  • Components: V, S, M (a suit of plate armor and a longsword)
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You touch the corpse of an evilly aligned humanoid that has been dead for no longer than eight hours. The creature rises and dons the suit of armor and wields the longsword as it finishes its transformation into a helmed horror (your DM has helmed horror statistics). It serves you and acts on its own initiative, aiding you to the best of its abilities. If it drops to 0 hit points, it turns to dust, along with the plate armor and longsword. This spell fails if you attempt to cast it again while a helmed horror is in your service.
