.: Help for assess

When creatures fall, their remains can be raised as undead
companions through necromantic magic. Before attempting to
reanimate a corpse, use assess to study it.

━━━ Usage ━━━

  assess corpse name

━━━ What It Tells You ━━━

Assessment reveals the corpse's power level and the forms of
undeath it can sustain. Weak remains can only support basic
skeletons, while stronger corpses can sustain more powerful
undead types — wraiths, golems, and other terrible forms.

Your manifestation skill determines which undead
types you can actually raise. A master necromancer can pull
forth a flesh golem from a suitable corpse where a novice
could only coax out a simple skeleton.

━━━ Important Notes ━━━

Assessment is purely informational — you don't need to assess
a corpse before raising it. It's useful for understanding
what's available and planning your ritual.

Every undead you raise adds to your total companion count,
so factor that into your decisions.

━━━ Skill Progression ━━━

Using assess trains your manifestation skill. The
more corpses you study, the better you become at gauging
their potential.
