No edit summary
Line 51:
** ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Skyrim]]'' now has master level spells; the master [[White Magic|Restoration]] spell Bane of the Undead now not only sends undead fleeing in fear, but also burns them, causing damage over time. If they die from the spell, instead of a corpse or a pile of bones, they leave behind ashes.
* One of the paladin's spells in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' was originally Turn Undead. It's now called Turn Evil and extends to demon targets in addition to undead ones. ''World of Warcraft'' paladins also have a [[Holy Hand Grenade]] spell called "Holy Wrath" which affects everything, but stuns undead and demons.
* ''Crossfire'' has both Turn Undead, - which inflicts fear upon the undead, as is standard, - and, lessthe specifically,less-specific Holy Word and Holy Wrath, which damage only creatures considered to be enemies of your god, whatever they might be.
* Tim Rhymeless of ''[[Wild ARMs 2]]'' has this spell with the same name and effect. It can even instant kill undead bosses and [[Bonus Boss]]es (hint hint).
* In the ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' series of games, there is the spell "Kyrie" which instantly kills all Undead enemies present in the battle. Even bosses, which is why most of the installments that had this spell tried to avoid undead bosses or simple made the spell unavailable till after said undead bosses. Usually learned by the Nina of that installment.
* In ''[[Nethack]]'', Turnthe UndeadKnight worksand likePriest thishave ona undeadspecial #turn command that can beingspacify, butscare whenand usedeven ondestroy hostile undead. There is also a wand and spell of turn undead which can damage undead and cause them to flee; a regular corpse ittargeted [[Incrediblywith Lamethe spell is [[Pun|"turns"turned it into undeadun-dead"]]—in other words, brings it back to life. The latter is generally the more useful function, as it allows the revival of powerful pets, while most high-level undead have a good chance of resisting the former effect.
* This is Ryuna's basic ability in ''[[Shining Force|Shining Tears]]'', as part of her role as the [[White Mage]]. Considering how many Undead enemies appear early on, it really comes in handy.
* ''[[Final Fantasy I]]'' has the Dia line of spells, which only harm undead opponents. In all subsequent installments, [[Revive Kills Zombie|Cure is used in place of Dia]].
