Lesser Animation was created by an upstart necromancer known only as Hjymer. This spell is the bare essential for its creator and is often put to use as it is extremely useful. Lesser Animation is used to cause one freshly killed enemy to turn into a totally mindless and loyal undead minion. The spell causes the corpse to rise as a zombie equal to that of a medium zombie regardless of size or level of the corpse. If the necromancer animates a large creature it still fights as though it was a zombie of medium size. If the necromancer raises a creature smaller than medium size by means of this spell it will fight as though it were a skeleton of that size. The animation process occurs instantly and the affected corpse is able to act on the next round of combat. The zombie's initiative count is always one less then the controlling necromancer's. The material components for this spell are the corpse in question and a small drop of the necromancer's own blood.
