Demise Unseen (3.5e Spell)

This spell instantly slays a single creature and at the same moment animates the body, so that it appears like nothing has happened to it. The target's companions (if any) do not immediately realise what has happened. The target receives a Fort save to survive the attack. If the save fails, the target remains at its exact position with no apparent ill effects. In reality, it is now under the character's control and gains the ghoul template. The caster cannot exceed the normal limit for controlling undead through use of this spell, but other means that allow the character to exceed the normal limit for controlled undead work just as well with undead created with demise unseen.

The slain creature's companions may attempt Will disbelief saves to recognise what has transpired as per the usual rules for glamers.
