Corpses destroyed in this way grant 0.67 points of defense each, while skeletons provide 0.34 with the total rounded down.

 ==Strategy==
 Cigotuvi's Embrace is, in most cases, the least appealing of the defensive stat boosting spells. The SH it grants makes it more effective than its counterparts in some areas, but offers little advantage in others. It can only be cast when in the presence of many corpses, usually provides less AC than its counterparts, and requires very high spell power in order for its advantages to last very long. Coupled with its significantly higher spell level, this makes the spell a generally inferior choice, suitable only for characters who intend to ''only'' train Necromancy and who aren't planning to use those corpses for [[Animate Dead|offensive purposes]].
-However, worshipers of [[Kikubaaqudgha]] can couple it with the Receive Corpses ability to generate massive piles of the dead, which can instantly be converted into phenomenally high AC and SH stats. This will burn through a significant amount of piety, but can easily create AC scores of 100+ (or [http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/Happylisk/morgue-Happylisk-20150322-153903.txt higher] in extreme cases). Even so, it is not a spell widely considered worth bothering with.
