Shouldn't Lichcraft remove the target necromancer?

That originally confused the heck out of me with the Behemoth description too. Anytime a death spell says is uses a death mage to do something, it creates the needed mage, rather than modifying an existing one.

Man that would be an awful spell if it worked that way. Here, for 10 gems you can kill your death mage and get a mediocre undead jumbo.

Sign me up!

Given that before you try the spell, you do not know how powerful the behemoth is.

It could have been a good spell, giving a powerful unit for 10 gems at the cost of a mage.

It would be cool with the behemoth made commander and keeping the magic levels of the necromancer.
