'''Unquiet Spirit''' is a [[Priests' Guild|priest]] [[ritual]] that reanimates the corpse of a dead opponent, causing them to reequip their weapons and armour and fight alongside the priest.

==Performing==
This ritual costs 120 [[GP]], and is not performed on anything, although it affects human [[corpse]]s in the room.

It requires the powers of [[speech]], [[movement]], and [[sight]].

===Skills===
This ritual uses [[faith.rituals.special]], [[faith.rituals.misc.area]], and [[faith.rituals.defensive.area]].

===Components===
*A [[holy symbol]]
*A [[prayer book]] containing the prayer "Piercing the Veil"
*A [[:Category:Daggers|dagger]] (which doesn't require a sharp edge)
*A lit [[candle]] (which must be lit performing the ritual, and which will not be dowsed automatically)

===Performing messages===
'''Performing'''
<pre>You speak the prayer of separation.
You hum a hymn of binding.
You heat the copper fighting knife over the candle flame.
You carve a glyph into the decapitated corpse of a poor beggar with the copper fighting knife.
</pre>

'''Success'''
<pre>The decapitated corpse of a poor beggar crumbles to dust, seemingly drained of something vital.</pre>

'''Failure'''
<pre>You feel weakened from the strain of trying to bring back the dead.</pre>
Note: Failing badly enough, such that you get this message instead of the generic ritual failure message, damages your [[constitution]].

'''What others see'''
<pre>

==Spectres==
While they can be ordered to attack, spectres will also automatically assist you in combat, but if you want them to defend you, you'll need to order them to do that specifically.  Despite what the syntax suggests, spectres only defend and do not protect.  They can parry or block on your behalf but they do not parry unarmed.

Being undead, they cannot be healed in the normal fashion and only heal with time.

===Duration===
Spectres can last a fairly long time if not killed or dismissed, depending on the summoner's skills.  Feeding spectres GPs extends their life just as with other minions.

===Leaving===
It looks like this when the spectre's time runs out:
<pre>The groaning spectre fades nearly to nothingness as it prepares to depart.
The groaning spectre groans.
The groaning spectre dies.
The groaning spectre shimmers and fades from existence.</pre>
When they leave, they drop their inventories to the ground.

==Wards==
This ritual cannot be bestowed as a ward.

==Notes==
If you try to summon another minion while controling a spectre, you can lose control of the spectre, causing it to turn on you.  Unlike [[Creeping Doom|dooms]], they will not leave after getting in a few hits, but will [[Log of losing control of a spectre|follow you around attacking you]] for a few minutes.{{Research}}  You won't be able to order them to leave at this point, although losing them ''may'' or may not work.{{Research}}

Multiple spectres may be summoned at once.  The ritual will automatically attempt to use as many human corpses as possible.
