Having mastered the basic techniques in this field of magic, you are able to cast more advanced spells. If you create any Elder Sorcery spells of your own, they get added to this list. However, just because you "know" how to cast these spells, doesn't mean you are always prepared to. Although all mage classes grant their own Elder Sorcery and rotator spells, you may only have a maximum of MR - 1 of these spells rotated into your spell list at any given time across all classes. MR refers to the number of ranks you have in mage classes. During a long rest, you can "rotate" which spells you have prepared. The rotator spells automatically available to you are Crown of Fear, Death Caster, Ethereal Shift, Spirit Bury, and Undead Reanimation.

You gain Zombify and Animate Dead.
On hit: Target is reanimated as a zombie. It is not under your command, but is hostile to everyone other than you that is not another zombie. The zombie keeps the SIZE it had before, but loses all other traits and abilities. If the target was already some kind of zombie, then it is reanimated as that type. Heightened: For each additional MP spent, the duration of this effect increases by 1 hour. If proficient: Zombify is warded. If fluent: The base duration of this effect is 1 hour and the zombie is a minion under your command.
Target is alive (but still undead). It's HP and MP are both increased to 1 if they were less than that value. However, the target's maximum HP and MP are both halved to a minimum of 1. This effect lasts until the target completes a short rest. This does not count as a revival effect although it acts as one.
If proficient: Target has all HP and MP restored, but its maximum HP and MP are still halved. This does not count as a healing effect or a revival effect. If fluent: Target's HP and MP are no longer halved.
If proficient: You may instead prepare 2 × (MR - 1) of these spells. If fluent: You may instead prepare 2 × (MR - 1) + P of these spells.
