Eternal Torment Cage

    Abyssals use this to trap the man's soul inside his body so they can go on torturing him after he's dead. This is one of the spells valued by mortificers as the victim's soul doesn't pass while they're being tortured. Some fasten their victims with soulsteel nails while assembling their creations. Abyssals have shown such a mastery of torture that people's souls escaped only because there was no body left for the to inhabit.
    Some have so much disregard for the etiquette of respect for the dead that they've become notorious. Far from being frightened by an enemy's vengeful ghost they relish the chance of a victim coming back to haunt them. It gives them a chance to kill them all over again.

Raise Skeletons

    Shadowlands Circle Spell

    A Shadowlands Circle Necromancer can make ageless skeletons out of the living. Performing this spell culminates in a ritual sacrifice takes place when the being they are bound to dies. When a potentate dies and is buried, priests perform an act of Necromancy sacrificing servants that will be bound to them in the afterlife. Their bodies are dressed and equipped and buried with their master. Their spirits are tied to their bodies for as long as this spell lasts. They are now subjects if their master's will who must be one of the greater undead. Not just in possession of their own will but able to command other forms of undead. This spell can also be performed at sites where the living have been sacrificed and prepared to serve their master in death. Such spirits are in limboand can be invoked by performing this spell at the site. The rite takes place during the Darkest Hour, where all the names of the dead must be recited. Any whose names are not read out are not reanimated.
