Animate Dead

Animate Dead uses death-aspected arcane magic to move empty remains.

The spell does not summon, recall, bind, copy or recreate the deceased person's soul. An animated corpse has no continuity with the deceased person's identity, personality, memory or knowledge.

The body can retain physical capabilities that follow from its remaining anatomy. Those capabilities do not imply that the former person is present.

Animate Dead is therefore distinct from Soulbind, which acts upon an actual soul.
