Use this ability to freeze an adventurer in two or three stages. If the target has a caloric salve applied, this will nullify the caloric salve. If he doesn't, then it will set him shivering, which will regularly cause him to lose equilibrium. If you chill a shivering adventurer, you will freeze him completely.

This is truly the joy of the Necromancer. If there is a corpse on the ground that has not already been victimized by a fellow Necromancer, you may DRAW HEART. Then, in an orgy of gastronomic pleasure, you may CONSUME HEART. The greater the experience of the adventurer who provided the heart, the greater your gain in life essence will be. Enjoy this pleasure, my murderous friend, for there are few greater in life or death.
 
It is important to note that how much life essence you get is modified by the experience of your victim.

: '''Details:'''
 
This ability will cause rotting hands to rise up from the ground to grab at the ankles of any who try to leave the location. The only ones who will not be affected are those who serve Evil in the city of Mhaldor.
|-
| bgcolor=#8C785A | '''Leprosy'''

|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#a3937a |

: '''Works on/against:'''  Room
 
: '''Details:'''
 
Using your command of the energies of death, you are able to wipe a forest area clean of plant life, replenishing some of your essence. Be warned though, there is an essence cost to this ability, and unless there is a sufficient amount of plant life in the room, you may lose essence using it. It should also be noted that an exterminated room is no longer considered a forest room, so many Druidic abilities will not work in such a room.
|-
| bgcolor=#8C785A | '''Vengeance'''
| bgcolor=#8C785A | Revenge with your dying breath.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#a3937a |
: '''Known:''' No (1185 lessons required)

::: RELAX VENGEANCE

|-
| bgcolor=#8C785A | '''Soulspear'''

|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#a3937a |

: '''Syntax:'''            EVOKE SOULSPEAR FROM <adventurer corpse>
::: THROW SOULSPEAR AT <adventurer> <direction>
 
: '''Works on/against:'''  Adventurers
 
: '''Details:'''
 
Essence cost to evoke it: 2.5%
 
Soulspear allows the skilled Necromancer to form a weapon forged in the soul of the dead. By taking an adventurer corpse, you can form the soulspear. A corpse from an adventurer level 30 and under has too weak a soul to form such a powerful weapon out of. Beyond that, the higher the level of the victim, the more powerful the soulspear.
 
Once you have it, you may throw it at someone who is outside your room, anywhere in your line-of-sight. It will shatter shields and prismatic barriers, or, if the person lacks one of those, the necromantic energy will be released, summoning forth hands of the grave in your victim's location.
|-
| bgcolor=#8C785A | '''Transverse'''
| bgcolor=#8C785A | Cross vast distances in a single step.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#a3937a |
: '''Known:''' No (1357 lessons required)
 
: '''Syntax:'''            TRANSVERSE <target>
 
: '''Extra Information:''' Essence: 2%
 
: '''Works on/against:'''  Adventurers
 
: '''Details:'''
 
This ability allows for swift travel across the land. You must initiate the activation from a room where hands of the grave have been summoned forth.
 
If your target also stands in a room where the hands grasp at the living, this travel is instantaneous. If the hands are not present, the target is required to be a practitioner of necromancy, and the travel will be delayed.
|-
| bgcolor=#8C785A | '''Blackwind'''
| bgcolor=#8C785A | Assume the form of the deadly blackwind.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#a3937a |
: '''Known:''' No (1426 lessons required)
 
: '''Syntax:'''            BLACKWIND
::: HUMAN
::: CHOKE
::: CHOKE <target>
 
: '''Extra Information:''' Essence: 5%
 
: '''Works on/against:'''  Adventurers
 
: '''Details:'''
 
This allows you to take the form of the deadly blackwind. While in this form, your freedom is severely limited, but your ability to be harmed is also severely restricted. After you have become the blackwind, you have the nefarious ability to slip down a victim's throat and CHOKE him. While in blackwind form, you will lose willpower very quickly as you strain to hold your nebulous form together. HUMAN is the command to return to your normal form.
|-
| bgcolor=#8C785A | '''Desecration'''
| bgcolor=#8C785A | Banish the holy rites of the Bloodsworn Gods.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#a3937a |
: '''Known:''' No (1530 lessons required)
 
: '''Syntax:'''            DESECRATE <rite>
 
: '''Works on/against:'''  Room
 
: '''Details:'''
 
Using your Necromantic essence, you may sever any devotional rites from the location in which you stand. If the layer of the rite is present, this ability takes some time, during which you may make no actions.
|-
| bgcolor=#8C785A | '''Vivisect'''
| bgcolor=#8C785A | Rip your victim's chest open and torture him to death.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#a3937a |
: '''Known:''' No (1564 lessons required)
 
: '''Syntax:'''            VIVISECT <adventurer>
 
: '''Works on/against:'''  Adventurers
 
: '''Details:'''
 
Evil as you are, you find yourself enjoying live experimentation, preferably on people you know. Once your victim is splayed out and helpless, meaning all four of his or her limbs are withered, you may perform your experiments, killing your victim in horrifying agony.
|-
| bgcolor=#8C785A | '''Soulcage'''
| bgcolor=#8C785A | Harness your life essence to escape death itself.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#a3937a |
: '''Known:''' No (1736 lessons required)
 
: '''Syntax:'''            SOULCAGE ACTIVATE
::: SOULCAGE DEACTIVATE
::: SOULCAGE STATUS
                 
: '''Extra Information:''' Essence: 30% - New soulcage
::: 3% - Reactivate soulcage
::: 2% - Deactivate soulcage
 
: '''Details:'''
 
This is perhaps the greatest of the necromantic abilities, and carries with it the greatest life essence cost. It allows you to spin a web of life essence around your very soul, protecting it from death. Soulcage may only be used once every 6 Achaean days.
 
The soulcage can be deactivated by raising a barrier of life essence between it and your soul, preventing it from saving you from death. It may be reactivated later for a much lower essence cost.
 
SOULCAGE STATUS will show the current state of your soulcage, if any.
