How do I reanimate the dead to fight for me?

So you want to play with dead people huh? You know that may be illegal in some villages and towns, but hey, nothing better than a date that never says "NO... or so I hear *ahem* Reanimating the dead... oh yes, we can do that as well.

By means of the spell Ritual Animatus (learned at level 14 and upgraded later at level 42) the necromancer is able to reanimate the corpse of those recently deceased. This type of pet is in addition to your normal abomination and Minions and is much shorter lived than the minions.

The reanimated pet is more powerful based on the strength of the corpse which you reanimated. The drawback is that the duration decreases as the original targeted corpse's level goes up. IF used under the right conditions it can serve as a hard hitting short duration pet that helps DPS down an enemy before it fades back to the land of the dead.

This is by far one of the funnest parlor tricks in Vanguard so enjoy it once you get it.
