Halt Undead

School necromancy; Level sorcerer/wizard 3

Casting Time 1 standard action

Components V, S, M (a pinch of sulfur and powdered garlic)

Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)

Targets up to three undead creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart

Saving Throw Will negates (see text); Spell Resistance yes

This spell renders as many as three undead creatures immobile. A nonintelligent undead creature gets no saving throw; an intelligent undead creature does. If the spell is successful, it renders the undead creature immobile for the duration of the spell (similar to the effect of hold person on a living creature). The effect is broken if the halted creatures are attacked or take damage.
