 *Unearth Wretches' ability to create swarms of allies is incredibly powerful, though it requires quite a bit of MP and ''at least'' 2 turns of prep time. Spells like [[Simulacrum]] are more useful if you didn't generate that many monsters, while [[Animate Dead]] and/or [[Death Channel]] with an [[axe]] is effective with a full house. In all cases, wretches will automatically perish after a couple of turns. This ability costs little piety, so use it early and often.
-**[[Death Channel]]'s spectres will work with any other Necromancy spell, but [[Infestation]], [[Simulacrum]] and [[Animate Dead]] cannot stack. The highest level effect currently active will take priority - for example, a monster that is both infested and soul-bound by Simulacrum will spawn scarabs on death, not simulacra.
+**[[Death Channel]]'s spectres will work along with any other Necromancy spell, but [[Infestation]], [[Simulacrum]] and [[Animate Dead]] cannot stack. The highest level effect currently active will take priority - for example, a monster that is both infested and soul-bound by Simulacrum will spawn scarabs on death, not simulacra.
 **For particularly dangerous challenges, Unearth Wretches can be used twice in a row to generate a spectacular quantity of fodder. Casting [[Infestation]] on top of yourself in addition to [[Death Channel]] (before using Wretches) will then create an impressive swarm capable of tackling even the deadliest of encounters.
 **Wretches are seen as hostile monsters, and other hostile monsters will usually avoid harming them. This gives Unearth Wretches minor defensive properties when used against ranged foes.

 *Undead and [[tree form]] characters benefit the most from invoked torment, though that doesn't mean that living characters can't use it at all! Kiku's protection will often reduce and even prevent damage, but living monsters take the full 50%. Plus, your torment-immune undead can mop up what remains.
