Unearth is a spell skill that fires multiple corpses in a projectile that pierces and lands to deal physical area of effect damage.

Skill functions and interactions

Projectile Behaviours: By default, the projectiles created by this skill travel to the targeted location before creating a corpse and dealing area damage. Projectiles that split, fork, chain or return have a maximum travel distance equal to the original distance between the caster and the targeted location - this includes the distance already traveled, thus if the enemy is near to the targeted location corpses will be created close to the enemy, while if the targeted location is far behind the enemy those projectiles will travel further. Projectiles can only fork or chain if pierce is disabled by an effect such as SnakepitSnakepit

Right ring slot: Projectiles from Spells Chain +1 times
Right ring slot: Projectiles from Spells cannot Fork
Projectiles from Spells cannot PierceThey wrap around you until your blood turns as cold as theirs.. Due to the ground targeting effect, projectiles will not return after reaching the targeted location, but will return after hitting an impassable obstacle.

• Forking projectiles each create a corpse.
• When pierce is disabled and the projectile is unable to chain, the projectile sometimes has targeting issues and is unable to hit a name-locked target, instead creating a corpse directly in front of the target without hitting it.

Corpse creation: Corpses are only created once a projectile hits the ground at the end of flight, not when it hits a target. Corpses created by Unearth are specifically those of Bone Archers. These monsters can be reanimated with Raise SpectreRaise SpectreSpell, Minion

Shotgunning: An enemy that has been hit by a projectile from Unearth cannot be hit by any other projectile created at the same time, including the AoE damage from those projectiles impacting the ground. If no projectile hits a target, the AoE damage from all projectiles ground impacts can hit the same target. The FledglingThe Fledgling
