This Manc is always passively active. When an undead creature or spirit enters the items range, then the item will begin to glow. Its brightness indicates the distance, power and number of the undead being detected, in that order. Thus a very powerful undead spirit will cause the item to glow very brightly, even if at maximum distance. A far less powerful undead spirit will cause the item to glow only somewhat at maximum range, but increases in brightness as it nears, as more are within range. It can not differentiate with its glow the individual undead, only that undead are within range. Once the undead is destroyed or out of range the light diminishes and stops.
There are two forms to this Manc, First Form is all and any undead, while the Second Form is a specified undead type or creature, limited by the undead forms known to the creator. Note the creating the Second Form is not only far harder but requires some part or focus for that undead type or creature. The focus could be a physical part of the undead creature or a focus could be an item closely linked with the undead spirit.

The glow of the light that detects the undead can be determined with some degree at creation. Colours normally available include: white, silvery white, yellow-white, yellow, greenish-yellow, pale green, mauve, pale blue, blue, pale red, and red. Other colours would require an increase of Power of +1.
The range of the detection is determined by the cleric's Level and any increase in Power Levels they chose to increase it by. For each increase in Power Level the range is increased by the creator's Level x 10. To make any item Permanent requires an additional Power Level increase of +3.
