Create Undead Champion

Create Undead Champion - You are able to create an undead servant to stand with you and fight alongside you. In exchange for summoning multiple zombies or skeletons, you can instead summon your singular Champion. In order to cast the spell, you need three things:

1) An Uncommonly Sturdy Corpse - This is a corpse that will serve as the initial source and shape for the champion. As such, it requires a body (preferably recently deceased) that was quite hardy in life. ((This means it had a high Con score, mechanically, but basically, you can't use any old corpse.))

2) A Phylactric Focus - This is the the primary means of facilitating your Champion's continued existance. Similar to a Lich's phylactery this Focus will house the essence of the Champion, should it fall. Often these are magical items, somehow tied to the prolonging of life or improving one's hardiness. Whatever enchantment the item has placed upon it will persist, affecting the Champion.

3) A third Item that Adam hasn't thought up yet - This item is consumed in the casting, and is required in the initial creation of a Champion. ((If you have any neat ideas for what this would be, I'm all ears))

Upon casting the spell, you have several options as to how you would like to mold the creature. This doesn't have to be the same as something it was in life. But this form will persist for as long as the Champion remains.

The focus serves in a similar way to how Revenants work, which is to say that if a body dies, and you place the Focus on/in a new body, the champion will then manifest in that body. In time, the Champion's current body will slowly convert itself to the original Champion's form.
