Necromancer

Deals modest damage to targets in the area.

The effect lasts approximately 12 hours, extended to 23 for High Elves and lucky Draconians.

Deals modest magical damage.

Each regen tick where you're below full mana, there's a chance (based on your skill level) to add 20% to that tick's gain, whether or not you are meditating. Does not trigger while you're in a transformed state.

Has a 26% chance to fail. You cannot control more than a few followers.

This area-of-effect spell strikes multiple targets simultaneously. Damage to each target ranges from 8 to 96 points.

The ritual draws a random toll of up to twice your level from your hit points; if that roll is not less than your current hit points, you are "too weak" and nothing happens. Otherwise, on success you lose that rolled amount of health and regain 1/4 of it as mana. A failed attempt (bad luck on the skill roll itself) costs nothing.

Grants the Banshee aura status. Duration varies by time of day and race: High Elves and some Draconians maintain stronger effects. Night hours grant longer duration than daylight hours.

Only a corpse whose stored owner matches you is moved. The spell reports when the corpse is already present or when none can be found.

High Elves and Draconians remain airborne longer than other races.

Area-of-effect spell affecting all creatures in the current location. Damage scales with dice rolls (12d15).

Hardens your body against attacks; the AC bonus scales with your remort count regardless of race. High Elves and lucky Draconians don't get a stronger shield, but they do keep it longer: about 7 hours, versus 4 for other races.

Summoning may fail—about half the time the spell does not produce a golem. You need a free follower slot to summon it.

The target's strength is reduced by a fixed amount. How long it lasts depends on whether the target resists it (a failed save means a much longer duration) and on the caster's race: High Elves and some Draconians extend it further.

The effect only takes hold when your Charisma roll beats the target's Constitution roll, and its duration scales with Charisma.

Drains one-sixth of the target's current hit points and adds that amount to your own (capped at your maximum). Requires valid PvP circumstances between players. The drain always fails if the target's hit points are already below one-sixth of their maximum, and can otherwise be resisted by a random chance that differs between player and NPC targets.

Creating it reduces your mana to 5. You may have only one such totem in the room; attempting another there makes the existing vortex strike you instead.

Deals much stronger damage at night, weaker during daylight, and moderate damage at dawn or dusk.

Summons between 8 and 12 zombies, each quite frail (10 max hit points, regardless of your level), with no chance of failure.

Deals a fixed 27d15 damage on top of the strength drain. Duration depends on whether the target resists the magic and on your own race as the caster—High Elves and lucky Draconians make the curse last longer.

Requires you to be sitting. Doubles your mana regeneration on every tick, and improves further as your Meditate skill grows -- close to triple at 100 skill. Ends the instant you do anything else, even an empty press of Enter.

The target must fail a magical save -- checked twice in a row -- to be affected, which makes resisting harder than a normal single save. When it lands, the victim is stunned for 10 combat rounds, or 20 if you are a High Elf or a lucky Draconian.

Base damage is a 30d18 roll (about 285 average) against a good-aligned target. If you are good-aligned yourself, the spell backfires: it targets you instead and deals damage equal to your current hit points minus one, leaving you at 1 hit point. Targets that are not good are unaffected and take no damage.

A curse, not a ward: it worsens the target's armour class. The penalty scales with your level and remort, and is heaviest at night, mildest in daylight. Lasts about 5 hours, or 9 for High Elves and lucky Draconians. Cannot be cast on yourself.

Works in combination with weapon weight and combat style. Heavier weapons and certain styles reduce the chance of a successful second attack. Improves through combat use.

Changes global weather to darkness. The spell fails if it is already nighttime in the game world. The effect impacts all players and areas simultaneously.

Deals area damage to everyone in the room, based on a fixed 32d25 dice roll (it does not scale with your level or remort).

Target must fail a magical save to be affected. Reduces attack accuracy and damage by approximately 10 plus 1 point per 45 levels of the caster. The duration is longer if you (the caster) are a High Elf or a lucky Draconian. Requires valid PvP circumstances between players.

Each target independently resists with Wisdom against your Charisma. The penalties scale with Charisma, and affected NPCs may immediately attack the caster.

The target must be actively fighting you, and must be at 19% health or lower to be vulnerable. Successfully struck enemies are first set to 1 hit point, then dealt 1000 points of damage, which kills them. Fails with a message if conditions are not met.

Cannot be cast while wielding any weapon. The summoned scythe appears as an equipped weapon in your hand, with its damage dice sized to your level plus 7 times your remort count.

The cyst only takes hold when your Charisma roll beats the target's Wisdom roll.

Only works if you are evil. You cannot cast this while protected by divine blessing. The effect lasts longer at night and is slightly longer-lasting for High Elves and Draconians.

Reduces the target's strength substantially. The effect lasts longer if the target fails to resist, and even longer if you are a High Elf or a lucky Draconian.

The victim is never reduced below 1 hit point by the immediate drain. The effect requires your Charisma roll to beat the target's Constitution and lasts longer with higher Charisma.

The strength of this effect scales with your level. The effect lasts longer at night and slightly longer for High Elves and Draconians.

Grants the Deathdance aura status. Duration approximately 17 ticks for High Elves and some Draconians, or 9 ticks for other races.

Non-humanoids are unaffected. The spell must overcome Constitution with your Charisma and lasts longer with higher Charisma.

Area-of-effect spell that damages everyone present. Damage scales with dice rolls (40d25).

It fails against non-undead, no-charm creatures, stronger or higher-remort targets, and when your follower limit is full. The final resistance check compares your Charisma with the target's Wisdom.

If the target is protected by sanctuary, you recover only half the damage dealt. Otherwise you recover the full amount.

Requires a valid corpse as a target. The spell has approximately a 10% failure rate. Successfully animated corpses become zombies that serve the caster.

Target may resist the infection outright. If it lands, reduces both attack accuracy and damage output by an amount based on your level as the caster. Duration also depends on your level, and lasts longer if you are a High Elf or a lucky Draconian. Applies a damning curse.

Deals area damage to everyone in the room, based on a fixed 40d32 dice roll.

The spell becomes more punishing as the victim approaches death.

This transformation requires a minimum skill of 70. While transformed: hit points quadruple, movement triples, damage increases by 400, hit roll improves by 300, and armor class improves by 100. Costs 200 mental points to activate, and drains 50 more mental points every regen tick while transformed -- running out of mental points forces you back to your normal form.
