Create Crypt Thing

This spell enables the caster to cause a single dead body to animate and assume the status of a crypt thing. This spell can be cast only in the tomb or grave area the crypt thing is to protect; the spell requires that the caster touch the skull of the subject body. Once animated, the crypt thing remains until destroyed. Only one Crypt Thing may guard a given tomb.

A successful dispel magic spell returns the crypt thing to its original unanimated state. Attempts to restore the crypt thing before this is done fail for any magic short of a Wish.

Reverse: Destroy Crypt Thing

The reverse of this spell, Destroy Crypt Thing, utterly annihilates any one such being as soon as it is touched by the caster. target is allowed a saving throw vs. death magic to avoid destruction.
