When an undead is created, the life they had is ripped asunder, creating a ghost. Typically, the ghost is ejected from the undead body or devoured by it. If the ghost remains in the undead body and merges with it, it creates a [[Revenants|Revenant]] or similar undead. If an undead is suppressed, the ghost remains externally and haunts their body.<ref>{{VERef|10.42 T}}</ref> Life informs death, and the undead are left with imprints of who they used to be in life. The capabilities a person had will influence the capabilities and talents of the undead that forms from them.<ref name=":3" /> Ghosts and similar spectral undead grow in power based on emotions and other esoteric means. They can often ignore certain offensive spells such as fireballs and lightning bolts, and greater variants may even be immune to elemental spells.<ref name=":2" /> | When an undead is created, the life they had is ripped asunder, creating a ghost.

Methods to mitigate the natural rising of undead until the body is properly tended to include using Gravesalt (salt, ashes, silver), having a [Gravetender] see to the body, and putting plants near the body to eat the death magic. A [Priest] blessing the dead may also help, though it is yet unconfirmed.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/09/04/9-13/ Chapter 9.13]</ref> Proper burial includes decapitating the body and spreading salt between the head and shoulders | Methods to mitigate the natural rising of undead until the body is properly tended to include using Gravesalt (salt, ashes, silver), having a [Gravetender] see to the body, and putting plants near the body to eat the death magic.

[Mages] can also reanimate the dead as well, and the ones who do so are generally called [Necromancers] and obtain it as a [[Classes|Class]].

Undead creations made purely of bone requires more magic to animate than flesh undead.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/10/22/6-51-a/ Chapter 6.51 A]</ref> | [Mages] can also reanimate the dead as well, and the ones who do so are generally called [Necromancers] and obtain it as a [[Classes|Class]].
