Ghast Creation (Necromancy) Level: 5 Range: 0 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: | turn Duration: Instantaneous Area of Effect: 1 ghoul Saving Throw: None The ghast creation can be cast only on a properly prepared [[Ghoul]]; the spell creates one ghast. The ghoul must make a successful saving throw vs. death magic or be utterly destroyed by the process. The resulting [[Ghast]] is normal for its type in every way (see the MONSTROUS MANUAL Tome). When first created, the ghast is subservient to the caster, This may change if the creature is not well treated or its needs are not supplied. The ghoul’s body must be infused with a special liquid that costs 400 gp to produce. The infusion process takes a full hour. The casting of the ghast creation spell must be preceded by a bestow curse and followed by an enchant an item spell. Creating a ghast is an evil act. Notes: Restricted to necromancers; very rare.
