The Necromancy spell Summon Dead calls forth help from Lithos' ranks of the dead during combat.
Spell Description[edit]
The Necromancer is not alone in battles against foes, as the legions of Lithos are available. Casting Summon Dead calls forth either a ghoul or skeleton, which then attacks the assigned target. However, be warned that these creatures of no intelligence, should they win their battle, will turn against the caster next. So either a Grant Peace is needed to send them back, or the Necromancer has to leave the battle site after summoning the helper. Each casting will only create one creature, no more.
Lore[edit]
| “ | This spell summons from the Earth a number of dead warriors to serve the Necromancer as guardians. They are mindless, attacking anyone not endowed with the power of Necromancy. Though it is possible to summon armies of the walking dead, I have never seen more than one appear. – from The Chronicle of Pagan (Ultima VIII)

| “ | Very well, always remember that no matter how mighty you may feel, everyone eventually needs help in battle. Take Blood, Bone, and Wood. Speak the words Kal Corp Xen. Focus this power and help will arrive. This spell will summon your deceased brethren to your aid. It may also help you find that which you seek. – from Ancient Necromancer (Ultima VIII)
