Jade waves her hand and shakes her head no.
"No, I ment the level 7 spell. If there is a better one out there I have yet to learn it. But as I promised before, if I know it I will teach you."

"An animation spell?"
Balasar pauses and looks towards Jade.
"I have the 7th tier create undead spell, but if there are better spells for animating undead, maybe my problem is that I didn't use a strong enough spell?"

"If it's just dead in a field, I will use an animation spell. Then essentially it is just a basic skeleton with whatever abilities it had when it died. But if you want something higher tiered then you need to cast a ritual. This will be the difference between having a skeletal dragon verses casting a lich ritual and having a dracolich. And that scroll specifically I do not have. I am pretty sure it's super rare."

On the way back, as Balasar's initial excitement wears off slightly, he looks over towards Jade as they walk.
"Jade, I do have a question... How do you normaly raise your powerful undead? Is it really as simple as the tier 7 spell create undead? It almost feels too easy."

Valasar digs through his bags and pulls out some dried phosphorescent moss.
"I do have some dried phosphorescent moss. However. The only hematite I have is raw, and I do not have rust monster saliva. It seems that we'll need to head back for those."

Jade taps her chin with her right index finger as she thinks.
"I need phosphorescent moss, polished hematite, and rust monster saliva."

Balasar opens and digs through his own bag.
"I might have some of what you might need for it. What are you missing for the ritual?"
Read More...
Jade closes her bag and frowns.
"I am completely out. I suppose now is the time to make that list for Zuiigrii."
She sighs.

Balasar jumps back as the bones rattle, before he laughs in excitement before they go still once more.
"It works! Or we'll, it was beginning to work. Likely, then enchantment is what's in the way of them animating, or perhaps the very size and power of this beast leaves the magic uncertain to take hold!"
He looks over the enchantments and the skeleton again.
"Yes, if you have the materials available, please remove the magic from the bones. I simply must try this again!"

"I think we may need to dispell the previous enchantment. Let me check if I have any components left."
Jade begins to dig in her bag.

As the magic soaks into the bones, there is a slow, growing trembling that radiates through the ground beneath your feet. The trembling becomes quaking and the bones begin to rattle and shake. They rattle for several long moments and then suddenly fall still and the quaking beneath your feet fades away.

Balasar nods and takes a deep breath, steadying himself as he begins to cast the spell, his speaking slowly and measured. Making absolutely sure not to accidentally mix up the words or misspeak the incant.
"By the powers of Darkness I twist the thread and wield my voice to raise the dead."
He then puts his hands to the bones, casting the spell into them.

"Go ahead and try to cast the animate. I can always come back and cast a destroy magic if it fails."
Read More...
Balasar looks back towards Jade.
"So, the ritual on these bones still has magic flowing through it... so I'm unsure if it would interfere with animating the dragon. I can still attempt it, just want to get your insights on this."
His hand still rests on the bones where the magic glows.

Balasar reaches out towards the bones and quickly mutters the verbal to Detect Magic, silently crossing his fingers as he does.

When you approach the section of skeleton that had the runes and sigils on it, nothing appears to be changed.

"Alright, you need to be the one to cast the animate. If it holds, then I will cast a permanence ritual on it when we get back."
Read More...
Balasar takes a shaky breath, barely restraining excitement and anxiousness as he looks over the enormous skeleton multiple times. Making sure to take account that nothing is blatantly missing.
"Perhaps we should head back to where that ritual was written down on the skeleton? To make sure that magic has faded before I try to... animate this skeleton."
Without even waiting for a response, he begins to make hos way back through the draconic skeleton. Back towards where the puzzle and stone had been found on our first time here.
