99.254.55.164:

'''Divine''' spells are [[spell]]s of religious origin powered by faith or by a [[deity]]. [[Cleric]]s, [[druid]]s, [[paladin]]s, [[ranger]]s, [[favored soul]]s, and [[spirit shaman]]s cast divine spells -- all based on [[wisdom]] (except for favored soul and spirit shaman, who also rely on [[charisma]]).

Unlike [[arcane]] spells, [[arcane spell failure]] does not apply when casting divine spells while wearing [[armor]].

==Description==

The caster brings a powerful undead creature into being. The type of undead is based upon the caster's level:
* Level 15 and under: [[Shadow]]
* Level 16-17: [[Wraith]]
* Level 18-19: [[Vampire]]
* Level 20: [[Elite Vampire]]

'''In-game testing(v. 1.22-1.23) has shown that the correct description is as follows:'''

"The caster brings a powerful vampire into being. The vampire will be either a warrior or a warlock - the type which appears is random and beyond the caster's control. "
* The warlock, using touch attacks and [http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Eldritch_Chain Eldritch Chain], is good when facing a lot of enemies or enemies with high AC.
* The warrior deals evil critical damage, and becomes a death-dealing machine if buffed with a few low level spells ([http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Haste Haste], [http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Bull%27s_Strength Bull's Strength] , [http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Weapon,_Greater Magic Weapon, Greater]).

== Bug Notes ==

General:

These summoned monsters are not very useful. At each of the levels, the summon is not really better then a level 1 fighter. Even the Skeleton Warrior (summoned at level 10) has poor equipment, low hit points and statistics. It has a total of +2 to hit, which is unlikely to hit many creatures at level 10.

The creatures are also bugged. Note the odd statistics above, and the feats are listed as "Inspire Jarring, , , Favored Enemy: Elementals" in the toolset.

Line 47: This spell doesn't use the NWN2 ApplyMetamagicDurationMods() and ApplyMetamagicDurationTypeMods() functions.

== Gameplay Notes ==

'''These notes are based on the summons being useful'''

This spell is mainly useful for those who have [[Conjuration]] spells as a prohibited school when using a [[Wizard]]. Having this spell also means the creature you summon has a vast array of resistances (mind spells, and death effects being two of the main ones), although usually lower statistics.

This spell is seemingly very underpowered compared to comparable-level conjuration spells. You have to take into account the longer duration however, although if the creature doesn't last more then a few rounds in combat regardless, it is a moot point! While this spell does level with the caster, the creatures at later levels are still barely as powerful as the same Summon Creature spell.

Like the [[Summon Creature I|summon creature]] spells, it is subject to [[Banishment]], even though in D&D this isn't a summoning-based spell - instead it raised up real corpses. You are also limited to a single summoned monster from any one source, be it a Summon Creature I spell or Animate Dead.

The undead, of course, are subject to normal turning rules.
