Ok, for some reason, Command Undead is a 2nd level spell, while Halt Undead is a 3rd level spell. Why would that be?

Spell Level 3 [Halt Undead]

Affects up to 3 undead [non intelligent undead does not get a save, Intelligent undead can make a Will Save]
Effect: Undead immobile for duration or until attacked.
Duration is 1 round per level.

Spell Level 2 [Command Undead]

Affects 1 undead, [non intelligent undead does not get a save, Intelligent undead can make a Will Save]
Effect: Direct control of non intelligent undead, Cha checks to control iintelligent undead.
Duration is 1 Day per level.

While it is rather odd, I assume its because of the number of undead affected. Plus, I believe that Commanding undead already under control allows an opposed caster level check, while Halting commanded undead does not.
