How works Necro Call?

[ArkhanTheBlack]

I read in some threads that the level of the raised undead creatures is the same like the dead creatures. Well at least on hard I can definitely say that this is not the case. Maybe it's the max level but certainly not the same. I got too often a bunch of lousy skeletons from level 3 creatures. Does the magic level influence the chance for better creatures? At the moment the spell seems quite worthless to me.

By the way, is the chance of the lightning spell for book of evil spell level 3 reduced in hard mode? The book is quite powerfull with this spell, but not if uses it just with a 20% chance or lower. There other good spells, but the chance of garbage spells like reduced defense seems exceptionaly high compared to my first game in normal mode, even if my hero is quite the brainiac for his level (14) with Int 24.
