Fifth Level Spells

Such a creature may not mindlessly attack and has stronger self preservation than most constructs or undead. If ordered to do something suicidal the skeleton may save to break free of the casters commands but generally they are quite obedient. Aware skeletons make good leaders or servants. A skull might be a useful observer or alarm

Such skeletons become immune to electrucity. Iron skeletons may no longer be counted as made of bone for other magic but can be eaten by rust monsters or affected by magnetism. Each use requires a 30gp of iron filings also. Other versions of spell might turn to bronze instead.
