Reanimate allows you to raise a lifeless creature from the dead (sort of). The spell does not make them grateful or peaceful in any way, but you can always kill them again, if you want.

A poisonous cloud of noxious gases is formed in front of the caster and moves slowly away from your characters. The cloud does 25 points of damage plus 1-10 per point of skill in Dark Magic and lasts until something runs into it.

Fires a blast of hot, jagged metal in front of the caster, striking any creature that gets in the way. Each piece inflicts 6 points of damage plus 1-6 per point of skill in Dark Magic.

Shrinks even the grandest of monsters to more manageable sizes. Duration of this spell is 5 minutes per point of skill in Dark Magic. A shrunken monster deals one half, one third, or one quarter its normal damage while shrunk.

A powerful spell of Darkness, Moon Ray heals your characters and damages all monsters in sight. It doesn’t do a lot of damage or cure conditions, but it is the only spell that harms all monsters in sight and works outside. Moon Ray is restricted to working outdoors and at night. All monsters take 1-4 points of damage per point of skill in Dark Magic, and all characters heal 1-4 points of damage per point of skill.

Dragon Breath empowers the caster to exhale a cloud of toxic vapors that target a single monster and damage all creatures nearby. This spell is the most powerful damage spell in the lands, doing 1-25 points of damage per point of skill in Dark Magic.

This spell is the town killer. It can only be cast once per day by Apprentices to Dark Magic, and only outdoors at that. Armageddon inflicts 50 points of damage plus 1 point of damage for every point of Dark skill your character has to every creature on the map, including all your characters.

This spell attempts to trap the force of darkness into its victims, hence the name Dark Containment. The target of the spell will suffer from random effects- though certain creatures are immune to this spell.
