Description:	The most elemental form of creating the undead, Call from Beyond compels a thanatologically prepared corpse to rise in service to its master. A servant created through this spell exists only a short time before the animating magic fails, but the ritual to raise it can be done quickly, requiring none of the laborious preparation that mark the creation of a permanent Risen. Channeling additional power into this spell extends its duration, but care should be taken not to mar the corpse, as each scrape will reduce the length of time the body can be maintained.
Effect:	{{{dtype}}}, {{{htype}}}, Makes a zombie!
Example Messaging:	3rd person: <Necromancer> gestures. A deep violet light flares along intricate lines on the badger's body. Its injuries melt away as damaged tissue struggles to knit itself together before your eyes. The creature's recumbent form jerks once and then, as if awakening from slumber, its eyes snap open. Flexing with newfound strength, an arisen badger zombie levers itself upright and faces <Necromancer> expectantly. 1st person: You feel a slight pressure behind the eyes as a swell of arcane energy builds within you. Directing the flow along ritual lines cut in the body of the badger, you connect each essential node in turn. Abruptly the power surges forth, a dam bursting as wild torrents stream into the body! You siphon off a tiny fraction of the energy and direct it into reconstructing damaged tissue, the badger's flesh knitting together before your eyes. The creature's recumbent form jerks once and then, as if awakening from slumber, its eyes snap open. Flexing with newfound strength, an arisen badger zombie levers itself upright and awaits your command.
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Zombie strength is based on TM ranks.

Recall

Zombies made with CFB have a unique recall.

"Undead, Risen, zombie -- there have been many names given to animated corpses over the course of history. One thing always seems to hold constant however: the smell. While many undead are simply mindlessly aggressive, this one appears under direct control."

Policy Notes

Please do not hide in a hunting area with a zombie out to get consent by waiting for the inattentive hunter to attack or target it accidentally. This is, at best, an incredibly grey area and at worst can be mech abuse. -GM Melete
