    We already have a spell called Charm Animal that does that with Mobs (assuming it's supposed to just be animals).

    I always liked this mechanic on fantasy games derived from DnD rules. It makes clerics & paladin type characters specially effective against the undead. Mages always have fireball :)

    I agree Numa, I liked the ability to Dispell, or even the use of a silver blade

    Hmm. I've used melee to kill ghosts and they didnt respawn either.

    I'd like to know what/how death magic is vs What FORCE is animating the dead in this game first.

    From what i've seen with fire mages being able to resist fire etc etc, seems like thigns animated through the force of death would only be resistant to death and not immune to it.

    Another way to look at it is, how exactly does the energy from a death spell interact with physical objects?

    I think the undead should be more resistant to it, and/or jsut have it not do the lfie transfer effect from undead (Unless it is a sort of Life Force that animates them)

    yeah death magic seems to kill them just as good as anything. the dead seem to die on the second kill when I use fire or death magic.
