Animate Bone Minions

Description
Exploit nearest corpse to animate two level 0...10 bone minions.

Usage Notes
The animated bone minions will slowly lose health. They may be healed but the longer they are alive the faster they will lose health. There is no limit to the number of bone minions you can animate.

Even with Death Magic maximized, those minions are extremely fragile especially end game. One common use is to cast Death Nova on them and let them explode or trigger the " walking bomb" with Taste of Death; the advantage of this is that you get more potiental spike damage out of one body compaired to putrid explosion.

It should be noted that at high levels of Soul Reaping, due to the fact two bone minions are produced from one body the caster has a overall gain in energy when the minions die. This also tends to mean any fellow necromancers in your party will never be low on energy.
