Raise Undead

A straightforward and versatile ability. Raises undead based upon Aedius' choices of weapon, and type of undead chosen.

Skeletons - Weakest form of undead be raised, but cover the most forms of combat. They are able to use simple fire magic, wield bows, one-handed swords and greatswords. Individually weak, they tend to be summoned in groups for effectiveness.

Zombies - Stronger than Skeletons, but cover less forms of combat. Zombies are slow, but inflict mild diseases and poison effects on targets that they strike. They are also occasionally armoured. Although it lacks much use, Aedius is sometimes able to give zombies a replicated face of other people, albeit a rotted, dying version.

Wights - The strongest form of undead in Aedius' current aresenal. They are extremely slow, to the point where they have to walk towards the enemy. They exclusively wield swords, and resemble heavily armoured skeletons with a cursed green aura emanating off of their swords and themselves. Upon reaching the target, Wights unleash a flurry of stabs, slices and parries. Only two can be summoned at any given time, but they have a long channeling time which can be interrupted.

Aedius can be classified as vain and somewhat childish. He looks down upon people most of the time, and speaks highly about his own form of magic. He refers to people he doesn't like as "magically impaired" (everyone, at the moment), and has been known to throw bones at people when he has access to them. Aedius hates almost anyone who uses magic involving fire, as his strongest summons are weak to it, he sees it as "effortless and annoying" and he specially refers to fire mages as "Living candlelights". At the same time, Aedius could be considered lazy, as he rarely uses his Darkness magic for combat, relying on a mass of minions created with Necromancy. He sometimes uses an unnamed magic to give himself a threatening, deep, sinister voice which would seem omnipresent throughout his domain as a deterrent, or to create fear in weak-hearted intruders.
