Reanimate Corpse 13 16
Revenant 21 26
Dread Zombie 30 37
Dead Thrall 40 50

NotesEdit

  • For more information on Dead Thrall, see Dead Thrall.
  • With the exception of Dead Thrall, all corpses revived through Reanimate spells will disintegrate into ash piles when they are killed, the spell expires, or you cast another summon or reanimate spell past your summon limit. This means that you cannot reanimate the same corpse twice with anything but Dead Thrall.
  • It is not possible to reanimate a character that has been decapitated, regardless of level. Also, enemies who have been disintegrated through the use of lightning spells cannot be reanimated.
  • Enemies killed while under the effects of paralysis will be unable to move when reanimated and are impervious to melee attacks (though you still get XP when you hit them with a weapon). Note that this may happen unintentionally when killing foes with frost spells with the Deep Freeze perk.
  • It is possible to take control over reanimated zombies, as long as you are able to hit it with a more powerful Reanimate spell than the other spellcaster used - before the zombie has gotten to its feet and is considered "alive"(when hovering invulnerable in the air).
  • You can also still loot corpses while they are being reanimated, for instance, to steal their weapons and force them to fight bare-handed.
  • The Bone Wolf's Revenge power and Bloodworm Helm's enchantment each increase the level cap for reanimation spells by 25%, but only if the target is undead.
