Raise corpse eaters is a raising for a mage who has outgrown bone and borrowed flesh. It reaches the same threshold of the Deep, where the natives' dead have lodged since the Breaking, and calls up Corpse eater: dead that come up gnawing.
Umbra cultivators have an explanation. They say these are the dead who have waited longest at the threshold, Turning after Turning, and that waiting has made them hungry. Nothing in the histories confirms it. What is certain is older. Since Odrin Half-Core first laid his affinity over the pressing dead in the Age of Odrin, every raising has borrowed its life from the living, and every kingdom that fields these ranks pays for them in people.
The spell takes longer to cast than the simpler raisings. A core of its own affinity raises the most; against the grain it raises fewer, and a deeper realm raises more.
