The spell transfers life-force at the rate of 4 damage points and 4 endurance every quint until either the victim is dead (-10 damage points), the caster reaches their full amount of damage points and is totally healed, or the caster's concentration is broken. In the event that there is a differing number of endurance points and damage points, the spell will simply continue to draw from a single source if the other runs out.

Astral Projection

Reagents- feather, platinum lock with a bit of projector's hair tied about it, spider silk

Spell Description - By means of this spell the caster leaves her or his body and travels in a spiritual form that can fly with great speed, teleport to any familiar locale, and move through walls, etc. The subject can also move into the Astral Realm, though this can be dangerous because there are creatures in the Astral Realm capable of interacting with projected individuals physically.
The caster can observe, read minds, and can also cast spells from their spiritual state. At the end of the spell's duration the caster is instantly returned to his or her body.  The astrally projected individual is invisible.

Possession
CT- 10 min.
Range- touch
Duration- 2 hrs./rank
Number Affecting- 1
Reagents- 1 oz. lichen, bit of the victim's hair intertwined with a bit of yours, black silk scarf

Spell Description - The caster must touch the victim in order for this spell to take effect. At the moment of contact, the caster's spirit will forcefully enter the victim's and take command of his or her body. The caster's body will collapse and remain in a comatose state until the caster returns or the spell ends (in which the caster will be forcefully returned). A caster in possession of a victim's body not only has full command of the body's physical capabilities, but can access their memory, cast spells that they possess, etc. The victim will feel in an odd, helpless state, aware of the actions of their body and mind but unable to interfere or affect things.

Command Undead
CT- 2
Range- 10'/rank
Duration- 1 day/rank
Number Affecting- 1
Reagents- silken cord

Spell Description - This spell affects only animated corpses, and not other undead, such as vampires, wraithes, ghosts, etc. Animated corpses are, of course, bound to their creator. This spell transfers that bond, temporarily, to the caster. Bound undead will obey with complete loyalty.

Duplicate Entity
CT- 1 passage
Range- n/a
Duration- permanent
Number Affecting- 1
Reagents- a potted plant, an arrow worm, a prism, black silk scarf

Spell Description - This complicated spell requires the caster to get an 'artifact' of the person they wish to duplicate, such as some hair, fingernail cuttings, blood, etc. The person to be duplicated may be alive or dead. The Necromancer casts the spell, wraps the arrow worm, the prism, and the 'artifact' in the black silk scarf, and buries it in the roots of the potted plant. The plant then infuses it with life-force, so that the reagents slowly transform into a small, leathery egg after about two days. This egg is removed from the soil, and will quickly grow over the next five days, at the end of which it will 'hatch' and an exact duplicate of the subject will emerge from the slime. The duplicate will at first be disoriented and weak, but will swiftly gain energy so that after a day they will be at full strength. The duplicate will have all the memories, powers, etc. that the subject had at the time the 'artifact' was secured. It will, however, know that it is a duplicate, and be grateful to the caster for giving it life. It is not bound to the caster, so that if the caster mistreats it, the duplicate may decide it does not want to be involved with the caster any longer. In all other ways, however, the duplicate is precisely like the duplicated entity, and will display the same personality, desire to be called by the same name, etc.

The life of the duplicate is bound to the life of the plant, so that if the plant dies, so will the duplicate.
