First Test Subject

Everything is ready for the experiment.
We know these things can warp the Spark of any living creature. Based on your observations, {username}, that ability has no effect on the undead – or at least not like the Zem.
Now we need to find out the following:
First: how does it affect undead with no Spark at all?
Second: how does it affect vampires who were influenced by the Darkness similarly to the Zem? If you remember, the Arisen came to be after Tep killed them with his plague. The vampires came to be after performing the rituals of the very same Tep, or they came under the influence of a certain dark artifact – the Dark Mirror, apparently. Darkness played a role in both cases.
We think the effect of the Darkness created its own sort of immunity in the Spark to further manipulations.
It's good to have your... toothy friend with us. We'll test both hypotheses.

The experiment was successful. Our hypothesis was confirmed.
I’ll admit, {username}, I didn’t think it would work. It seems Nihaz made a mistake. That gives us a chance.
Now you and Dakkar must act. You may need to raise every churchyard and cemetery on Umoir, but we need to gather an army. I hope Dakkar’s warriors aren’t as flimsy as these test zombies.
