Alireza Ardestani developed the core Undead control feature for the Vanderlin repository, delivering the Control Undead spell that enables Necromancer players to command undead units with defined casting behavior and robust target validation. Working in DM and applying object-oriented programming principles, Alireza integrated the spell with both Necromancer and Lich class abilities, aligning it with the arcane skill system to support cross-class synergy and future spell expansions. The implementation focused on reliability, reducing edge-case failures in combat scenarios. This work deepened gameplay by expanding player agency and laid the technical foundation for an extended suite of undead spells.
