The effect won't be to kick your position off that status tree, of course,
but it could knock your best character down a couple of rungs, and that
can really hurt.  Further, this spell is a special case of a more general
problem:  The game -- and the RI module in particular -- is lousy with
anti-undead spells.  So yes, it's a great status tree, but it's got its
compensating disadvantages.

1.  What is 'spunned'?
2.  I'm grateful to the half-dozen people who answered my question about
    petrification, but not half as grateful as I would have been if I
    hadn't gotten half a dozen different answers.  This is the seventh.
    The odds are good that one of you is correct. :-?

On another topic, have people noticed that NPC locations tend to be
set up very sloppily?  Catapults with charge orders, mounted knights
on tactical reserve...  This last turn I came across a town that
contained, in addition to the usual defenses, two Great Dragons.
Fortunately, they weren't assigned to combat slots. :)
