Facts only please.  :) Anshou 10:28, 2 January 2006 (CST)

Those are all of the facts, to my knowledge, that anyone knows about the spell. If you want a more simplistic breakdown, there is a page on the Gemstone site I will link to at the beginning of this entry.

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your original post. I suppose I'll simply say that knowing the barebones facts doesn't allow one to use this spell. It's incredibly complicated, and it requires a lot of knowledge to use effectively Plus, I get numerous requests for this guide each week, posting it here will likely draw traffic towards the site. Surely that's not a bad thing.

My original comment was directed toward ULTHRIPE and the original entry for this article. That being said, I'm not certain that the guide is appropriate as the main entry for the spell. The main article should describe the spell in the simplest and most concise terms possible. It'd be more appropriate to put the guide in an article named Animate Dead (guide), place it in the Guides category, and then link to it from the main article.

Detailed command information and how-to is all well and good, but if you want to present a guide, I'd make a separate page for it and link it here on the general spell page. I have a feeling that when people come to edit this (And they will, it's a group wiki after all) you're going to get peeved at people moshing all over your guide. Gyres 09:03, 5 January 2006 (CST)

I think we'd be better served by a more basic overview of the spell with links to various guides or detailed scripts. WELCHA 09:12, 5 January 2006 (CST)
