This mod adds a new spell; Summon Skeletal Horde. It summons up to 15 minions that you can control in a Overlord:ish style.

Three different minions; Warriors, Archers and Lesser Liches.
You can now toggle between aggressive and passive minions. Minions are aggressive per default.
Charge command: Makes your minions charge towards the selected location, fighting any enemies they may encounter. They will also loot any weapons they can find to make them stronger. You send away minions one by one, hold to send away more.
Return command: Your minions will return and follow you. Your minions return one by one, hold to return more.
Your minions will follow you in a half circle formation.
You can unsummon your minions.
Your skeletal minions are now affected by perks (Dark Souls).
Warriors and archers can be equipped with shields and weapons, liches can use staves.

INSTALLING
- Install as any ordinary mod, dump all files inside skyrim/data & activate SummonSkeletalHorde.esp.
- Travel to Skytemple Ruins, directly north of the College of Winterhold.
- Fight a Skeletal Wizard that carries the spell book.
- You want to do a clean save (disable the mod, load & save, activate the mod, play) between different versions. For example; Your summon limit will remain 8 if you upgrade from 0.1 to 0.2 without a clean save. Some other creepy bugs might also appear.

UPGRADING
Yes, I know this is much work, but I got no idea of how to force the game to reset the quest scripts without it.
Only need to do this is you have played this mod before 0.5 with your saved game.

1. Disable SummonSkeletalHorde.esp.
2. Delete files inside "...\skyrim\Data\":
SummonSkeletalHorde.bsa
SummonSkeletalHorde.bsl
SummonSkeletalHorde.ckm
SummonSkeletalHorde.esp
3. Load a saved game.
4. Save the game.
5. Install the new version of this mod.
6. Load your saved game and play.

KNOWN BUGS
Skeletons will sometimes, when you raise them instantly, 'walk around' while lying down (AKA; "han glider runt p� sitt j�vla avsle!").
Your minions are quite slow to react and don't like walking in formations, I blame the creepy Skyrim AI and path finding.
You MUST follow the upgrading procedure, otherwise you WILL have bugs with the spell.
