I would like to request that Wizards get a spell to raise undead.
The way I would put it in is; the spell cast a cast time and once complete it creates a Zombie (uses zombie model). Unlike viral zombies these magically animated zombies are non-infectious and cant make more undead making the wizard have to manually raise each zombie.
From the outside they are identical to zombies so crew won’t know if they are wizard zombies or not (allowing the wizard to hide there presence).
Crew who become zombies in this way are told they are under the direct control of the necromancer and should follow there commands and not attack them (like chaplins bat). if the wizard dies the zombies get a updated message (like how revs get told the revolution is over) saying your master is dead kill as many people as you can.
This would put a classic evil necromancer trope into the game, including the when you kill a necromancer their undead go wild thing. The wizard of course can only create undead on dead folks so they will also have to kill to make there undead or rob the morge.

Necromantic Stone is planned content according to Wizard’s author.
In its SS13 iteration (Its properties may differ when its ported) it resurrects dead bodies as Wizard-Aligned skeletons with swords.
nice nice, I never played SS13 so It just seemed like a gap 
I would advise avoiding skeleton though, as skeletons are normally free-agents so a zombie would comincate a threat better.
and zombies are usually antagonists not familiars. It would be easy to code a skeleton in wizard robes as a familiar. just like how getting clwnififed changes your gear this would do something similar.
I mean true, but i see zombie i say “KILL IT” or “RUN” I see a skeleton and im like “ACK-ACK skeleton fun times!”
Regular skeleton yes! but skeleton in wizard robes they can’t take off? (like the clwne) should be a pretty quick learning experience for the crew.
possibly as long as it was unquine to them and not something crew can obtain.
maybe a recolored sprite of existing wizard robes? specific to reanimated skeletons only? can only be taken off is the skeleton is gibbed. just like a clwne’s bag. It would be funny if the skeletons also had fire eyes like someone hosting the fire anomaly.
