Description¶
The Control Undead spell allows the caster to take control of 1-4 undead creatures within the area of effect. This creates a telepathic link between the caster and the undead, allowing complete control. If the undead have 3 Hit Dice or less then there is no Saving Throw allowed. If they have 4 Hit Dice or more a save vs. spells is allowed to negate the effect. The undead remain under control of the caster for the duration of the spell or until they are affected by a dispel magic.
