Alireza Ardestani developed the core Undead control feature for the Vanderlin repository, delivering the Control Undead spell that enables Necromancer players to command undead with defined casting logic and target validation. Working in DM and applying object-oriented programming principles, Alireza integrated the spell with both Necromancer and Lich classes by aligning it with the arcane skill system, ensuring cross-class compatibility and future extensibility. The implementation focused on reliable spell behavior in combat, reducing edge-case failures and laying the groundwork for an expanded undead spell suite. This work deepened gameplay options and enhanced player agency through robust spell system design.
