Version 0.24: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Summons multiple undead monsters, creating various ghosts, vampires, wraiths and other lesser undead.

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 ghosts, as they can be harmful to even endgame characters.

  • Skeleton: Can be used as a target for Lee's Rapid Deconstruction
  • Simulacrum: Weak to fire, but can deal heavy cold damage; can be used as a target for Lee's Rapid Deconstruction
  • Spectral thing: Flies, has draining attacks
