[edit] Notes

• Whilst the allure of bringing up two minions at once may seem quite appealing, you need to have a good number of points in both Soul Reaping and Death Magic to make them effective.
• As you progress through the game the limiting factor with bone minions is the fact that you can’t get them to a high enough level to be truly effective and the benefit that you get of creating two at a time disappears as they will die much faster.
• Bone minions are useful with skill combinations that rely on the minions dying, such as when combining this spell with Death Nova, Putrid Flesh or Feast for the Dead.
• This spell will trigger Explosive Growth, Boon of Creation, and Spirit's Gift twice.
