Scepters: Raise Empowered Zombie not working?

So Im playing as Sorc and have a Sceptre. It gives me 100 spirit. I also have the passive skill gem Raise Zombie but no matter whatr I do I cant get an empowered zombie to rise? It happened once briefly and never happened again? Any advise? Bug?

Empowered Zombies come from summoning a zombie with a power charge. It has nothing to do with weapon type or amount of spirit.

You can tell because the Empowered Zombies glow bluish/purple, while ones summoned from corpses have none.

Im fully aware of this...but its not happening, i have full spirit and no empowered zombies...im trying to get help on why?

You need to find another way to generate a Power Charge (Ctrl+F Power Charge on the gemcutting screen). Skills like Power Siphon (Granted by the Siphoning Wand base) will give you those blue orbs called Power Charges, which can be used to summon the Empowered version of Raise Zombie. If you can't get that, you may be a bit young for this game and I recommend you play something easier to understand like D4.

Ok thanks? but why insult me?...howbout this, that didnt work. So something isnt adding up. Maybe just be helpful to new players without the insults, novel idea I know.

Not sure what you aren't understanding. Spirit is used for "reservation" skills, such as skeleton minions(not zombies) or auras.

Empowered zombies come from power charges, which is completely different than spirit. You need to have a skill that generates a power charge, then when you cast raise zombie, it will use the power charge to be empowered instead.

ok thank you that helped.
