An 'Animate Dead' spell scroll is a Zarosian artefact that is made by restoring its damaged variant at an archaeologist's workbench. The damaged artefact is excavated from the Ancient magick munitions excavation hotspot at the Kharid-et Dig Site with level 107 Archaeology.

The artefact can be read to cast a spell. This is used in The Vault of Shadows, where the scroll is destroyed upon activating the shadow button.
