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 Vizier or Sorcerer to even want to remort to one.

Stats

Nec hitpoints and mana seem to be a wee bit higher than mage, but less than sors.

Healing

Due to curse of decay, you can't heal from any divine spells - even potions or scrolls. Vizier heals likewise do not work.

Necromancers get meditation at level 5, and you can use leech and life drain at lowmort to heal.

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

Pet Creation

Necromancer pets are called Abominations. You can create them via unholy ritual at lowmort, undying ritual at low hero, 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 and 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 glows which apply different affects to self, and are modified by any weapons buffed with manifest glow.
