What should I name this spell?

What should I name this spell?

I thought I would reach out and ask for some audience participation / help on naming this spell I'm working on today!

Spell Effect Description:

This spell is an "in progress" work from the Dark Affinity school of spells (black/dark/evil style magic).

The spell idea is to have a group of skeletal hands rise from under the target and attack it.

The red cloud is just for atmosphere and ambience .. the Skeletal Warrior pictured standing in the cloud in this case just happens to be the monster I caught in it for this screenshot - he is not actually part of the spell effect!

My initial name idea was "Army of Darkness" as a tribute/easter egg to the film of the same name but I'm worried that I might run in to trademark or copyright issues if I do that?

So .. now taking ideas for a cool spell name!

Terms & Conditions:

By submitting a spell name you hereby grant me rights to use it royalty free in my game.

Bonus

No promises.. but I hope to take your name/handle down (if you want) and include it in a portions of the credits, I'm already planning on doing a kickstarter and having some of the stretch goals include user design contributions so this is something I want to do anyways!


Good luck and thanks for the ideas!


edit: Updated image -- particles are more 'bloody' red less 'pink' lol.
