  A powerful spellcaster who is wielding the gift (or, some would say
  curse) of death, allowing them to raise killed opponents as undead
  servants.

'''Abbreviation:''' Nec.

'''[[Prime Requisite |Prime Requisite]]:''' [[Intelligence]].

== Necromancers in General ==

Necromancers always have friends! They are to die for! That doesn't mean necromancers aren't lonely. It's hard to raise a family as a necromancer: you have to bring all the corpses together in one place.

Necromancers aren't for beginners. Granted, you must be a high level lord [[:Category:Viziers|Vizier]] or [[:Category:Sorcerers|Sorcerer]] to even want to [[Remort|remort]] to one.

=== Stats ===

Nec [[Hit Points|hitpoints]] and [[Mana Points|mana]] seem to be a wee bit higher than [[:Category:Mages|mage]], but less than [[:Category:Sorcerers|sors]].

| Hero || 1 || Liz || Sor || 661 || 552 || Shz
|-
| Hero || 1 || Liz || Nec || 518 || 455 || Shz
|}

=== Healing ===

Due to [[Curse Of Decay|curse of decay]], you can't heal from any [[:Category:Skills And Spells That Heal Characters|divine spells]] - even potions or scrolls. Vizier heals likewise do not work.

Necromancers get [[Meditation|meditation]] at level 5, and you can use [[Leech|leech]] and [[Life Drain|life drain]] at [[:Category:Lowmort|lowmort]] to heal.

There are also ways to heal from pets: [[Abomination Skeleton|skeletons]] should sacrifice themselves for healing (but as of Nov 3rd, 2025 - it's not in the game), and you can [[Corpse Drain|drain corpses]] for 20% healing.

=== Pet Creation ===

Necromancer pets are called [[Abominations]]. You can create them via [[Unholy Ritual|unholy ritual]] at lowmort, [[Undying Ritual|undying ritual]] at low hero, [[Chaotic Ritual|chaotic ritual]] at super hero and lord.

Casting any of the rituals costs health, and the higher the tier of ritual the more health it consumes.

I'm not exactly sure of the different mechanics of the tiers of rituals, but currently it looks like [[Undying Ritual|undying ritual]] and [[Chaotic Ritual|chaotic ritual]] do the same
thing, but one consumes more health. Perhaps this will be changed in the future.

=== Glows ===

Necromancers get specialized skills called [[Glow|glows]] which apply different affects to self, and are modified by any weapons buffed with [[Manifest Glow|manifest glow]].

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Glow Affects
|-
! Color !! Level !! Affect
|-
| [[Blue Glow|Blue]] || Mort 10 || [[Life Drain|Heal]] a little on every melee hit
|-
| [[Red Glow|Red]] || Mort 30 || Increased dmg debuf on attacking enemies
|-
| [[Green Glow|Green]] || Hero 1 || Increases on corpse drain healing
|-
| [[Black Glow|Black]] || Lord 300 || Raises max health
