The Opening of the Mouth and Eyes ritual is used by the cult of Arhiman to create powerful undead servants. The ritual has two uses - the first one creates a Mummy that serves the caster of the spell. Creating the mummy costs 100 XP to animate permanently.

The second use of the ritual animates a Large-sized Living Statue by placing a soul of a dead being and restoring it to life within the statue. The statue is not bound to serve caster as the mummy is, but starts out with an initial reaction of Friendly to those who restored him. Creating a living statue costs no XP.

Note: Keep in mind the rules of mortality in regards to spell casting. Unless steps are taken to make this spell permanent, then as soon as the sorcerer dies, the spell ends.

Focus: The spell requires a mummy or statue of the deceased.
