Well,
enervation applies negative levels to a creature. It's a 4th level spell, so an Evil Wizard-7 can cast it.
The enervation targets a commoner-1, who's slain by negative levels.
A creature killed by
Negative Levels either rises as a creature of the kind that killed it (for certain creatures), or as a Wight the next night. As the Evil Wizard doesn't have a specific spawn clause, the commoner-1 rises the next night as a Wight.
Well, a Wight is a 4 HD undead; an Evil Cleric-8 can
Command it.
A
Wight has the create spawn ability (which is what all this is leading up to):
Quote:
Create Spawn (Su): Any humanoid slain by a wight becomes a wight in 1d4 rounds. Spawn are under the command of the wight that created them and remain enslaved until its death. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.

Feed your Wight commoner-1's that you've gotten from... wherever. Kidnapping, maybe. Or have it go harvest a few small villages, whatever. Each wight it creates is under it's control. It is under your control. You tell it what orders to give out. There's no limit to the number of wights it can control, but it wouldn't matter much if there were, as each enslaved wight can make more enslaved wights.
So you Have a Commanded Wight (let's call him First). Who has, say, 10 spawn (10 seconds). Each of those 10 spawn have 10 spawn (100 thirds). Each of those spawn have 10 of their own (1000 fourths). Each of those spawn have 10 spawn of their own (10,000 fifths).
If you go ten ranks, you have have 1,111,111,111 total wights under your (indirect) command.
And they have an Int of 11, so they should be able to relay orders properly, even.
Fragile, though - one assasination, and suddenly you have ten firsts... and you can only Command two. They probably don't like you very much.
