Re: Spell Design?: Create Corpse
It's one of the variants under the Zombie template (or Skeleton?). I don't have my book here, otherwise I could give you a page number.

Re: Spell Design?: Create Corpse
I'd find it more interesting if a demon-possessed body was always the result...

Re: Spell Design?: Create Corpse
Another thought might be to look to Bio-Tech for inspiration and set up a magical clone bank...

Re: Spell Design?: Create Corpse
Another thought I had: Instead of using "human" bodies, why not play necromantic games with animal bodies? Probably for more plentiful and with fewer ethical delemnas.

Re: Spell Design?: Create Corpse
I could see something potentially workable right out of Magic via Shape Stone and Stone to Flesh, actually. If a bit round-about.
However, your player isn't looking for a baroque solution, and I don't blame them. My recommendation would be to allow him to research a variation of Zombie with twice the base cost to skip the requirement for raw materials, but only creates Zombies of a specific type for each version of the spell. So Create Human Zombie, Create Orc Zombie, etc. After that use the usual cost variations to create a skeleton with a projectile attack based on firing bone shards, or whatever. These Zombies would be Permanent magical effects, subject to destruction by Dispel Magic, or disruption by the anti-Creation effects.
