Default What does Puppet Master do?

Panic unholy spell. Have casted it in battle and can't figure out what it does.

Maybe I recall it wrong, but why does the AI then repeatedly call unholy blessings such as puppet mastery?

I think puppet mastery has an mr check, so not all of your undead will be affected. Hence the multiple castings.

I think it also only works one round in combat.

Don't think it has an MR check (the one that does, gives regeneration, and is _easily_ resisted, by friendly undead that almost all have good (12-14) MR *sigh*). As Molog says, it supposedly only makes them move faster for one turn, so it will cast it repeatedly.

But what's really retarded about the casting of it is when the Carrion Lord casts it over and over, and it's the only friendly unit on the battlefield. Doubles it's own movement, _but_ it casted a spell so can't move, casts it again the next round, and simply fatigues itself to no good effect, when it could be doing far better spells.
