'''Summon Undead''' is a monsters-only spell which summons several [[undead]] monsters around the caster. 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 [[flayed ghost]]s, as they can be harmful to even endgame characters.
