Supernatural Powers Supplement clarification

So I'm trying to create some rather elaborate effects for some magical units I'm working on. But there is no rule for how many SP it costs to summon a living unit, or resurect a deceased one.

I suppose one could consider a minifig a 2 brick create matter effect, and give it a duration, but this really doesn't take into effect how much it would cost if one wanted to ressurect the unit permenantly, or if it is harder to create a living being than an inanimate object.

you could just roll on the ker-zombie table, we have at least one of those kicking around somewhere. Because the three basic elements of a minifig are legs, head, and torso, I would say that they are the equivalent of 3 bricks if you wanted to use a matter creation spell or something.

If you choose to revive a deceased unit, you may not reattach severed limbs. You may not roll on the table unless the unit you are trying to revive has at least a waist, torso, and head (missing legs, arms, and hands are ok though)
  • Ker-Jesus Table
    1 - The dead body explodes in a shower of gore. Separate all the remaining minifig parts and scatter them around the battlefield
    2 - Unit becomes a zombie for the duration of the spell
    3 - Unit becomes a zombie for the duration of the spell
    4 - Unit becomes a zombie for the duration of the spell
    5 - Unit becomes a zombie for the duration of the spell
    6 - Unit is successfully brought back to life with no ill effects.
a few notes on summoned zombies (not the same as viral zombies):
-whoever cast the spell that creates the zombie is it's master
-if the master is killed, the zombie will stay where it is and make an attack roll on any unit that comes close (except maybe other zombies)
-the only way to kill a zombie with a weapon is to roll a critical success on an attack roll (boom, headshot)
-zombies cannot use weapons of any kind
-zombies attack by biting other units, this attack does 1d6 damage
-because they are not infected with a virus, there is no danger of turning other units into zombies

Zombie is an "ill effect"

That is much more elaborate than the effect I had in mind. Although I do like the name "Ker-Jesus Table".

oh, I seem to have just missed "rather elaborate" and instead passed into the realm of "pretty elaborate".

Being a zombie would be cool, but you would never again be able to enjoy a nice hot plate of chilli covered nachos. To me, anything that permanently prevents me from eating nachos is an ill effect. I can consume human flesh whenever I want, but nachos are reserved for the living.
