Ritual Description:

This Ritual transforms a person, if that person has a Spirit, into a <insert type> one of the variety of <Greater Undead Corporeal> in existence. The Undead is recognizable as the Living being it had been. The Undead created will have all the physical abilities typical to <type> and will have the Skills of the person this Ritual was cast upon. This Ritual does not give the Caster any control over the Target of the Ritual or over any of the Undead that are currently under the control of the Target of the Ritual at the time of casting. If the Curse of Undeath Ritual preceded the casting of this Ritual immediately within the same batch of Rituals, then the Spirit will Resurrect at the Spirit Bottle as a <insert type>.

If a Gift of Life is later cast on the Spirit Bottle, which has an active Curse of Undeath, it negates the Curse of Undeath.

If a Curse of Undeath Ritual did not precede the casting of this Ritual, a Destroy Magic (Earth) upon the Spirit will cause a death to the Spirit causing it to seek Resurrection and it will Resurrect as the species it was prior to the casting of the transform to Greater Undead Corporeal as <Greater Undead Corporeal> is not considered a species. If the Undead Body is killed the person's Spirit will be weakened and they must seek Resurrection; they will Resurrect as the species it was prior to the casting of the transform to <Greater Undead Corporeal>. Without a Curse of Undeath, a Gift of Life Ritual upon the Spirit will revert the person to their species prior to the casting of the Transform to <Greater Undead Corporeal> without the Spirit suffering a death.

When the Ritual expires either at the end of its duration or at the expiration of a Curse of Undeath, the Spirit will suffer a death and must seek Resurrection as the species prior to the casting of the Transform to <Greater Undead Corporeal>.

Out of Game: Be forewarned that the casting of this Ritual upon a character will cause that character to become Plot controlled for the duration of this Ritual. Transforming your Character into an Undead creature is illegal In Game for all REFUGE Chapters. Please be aware of the information regarding this in the REFUGE Rule Book. Transforming your character into an Undead will result in an In Game action being taken by your local Plot Team. It is advised that the PC wishing to use this Ritual discuss the matter with staff by bringing it to the attention of the chapter prior to the event it is cast at. Plot Team must supply a stat card at each event, if the stats of the Undead change, the new card must be used regardless of the stats when originally created.
