Saving Throw: none
This spell is a more potent, yet far less powerful version of the common 5th-level wizard spell, animate dead. It has double the effects of the animate dead spell, creating twice the number of undead. Yet these undead creatures are only active during the nighttime hours and are in a coma like state during daylight, much like a vampire.
Thus they can more easily be killed and are tricky to kill off, as they are very difficult to find during the daylight, when they hide and "sleep".
The material component for Rigor's nightlife is two drops of blood and two bone shards in the shape of carved wooden stakes. The casting of this spell is not a good act, so only evil wizards use if with an frequency.
Notes: Uncommon spell.
