Undying vigor infuses an undead creature with unholy power, making it a stronger specimen of its kind for the spell’s duration. For every four effective levels of the caster, the target gets a +1 supernatural bonus to attack rolls, saving throws and skill checks; + 1d8 temporary hit points and +2 supernatural bonus to Damage Reduction. An undead creature may not be under the effect of more than one casting of this spell at any time. Many necromancers use the benefits of Rule of Inertia [or Success] and Ritual Sacrifices to empower entire hordes of undead at once.
