Raise Dead - This spell is used by Mages who practice necromancy to summon and control corpses and skeletons to do their bidding. A particularly powerfull Mage can raise entire armies of undead hordes to fight for them, laying waste to towns and villages who aren't suitably protected. Curse - This spell can cause a variety of effects depending on the intent of the caster and the material components used. This is the only other spell known to require material components due to the need to specify durring casting what effects the caster desires to bring down upon the victim.
