'''Summon Undead''' is a monsters-only spell which summons [[undead]] monsters to attack the player. Although most of the summoned undead are weak and easily defeated, high-HD casters can summon multiple undead with each casting, and the player may be swarmed. Also, be careful around any summoned [[ghoul (monster)|ghouls]], as they can be harmful to even endgame characters.
