Return to top

     The Necromancer is one who deals with the dead. They delve deep into the darker arts of magic. Don’t confuse this
with utter diabolical evil . . . for this is not most Necromancers intentions. The art of the dead is aligned with the
darker things in life, but it deals not “evil” as it is stereotypical vomited into every ruling and every book out there.
The path of evil is a sought after path, just as good is. What you do with this darker power will depict your align, not
the using of necromancy itself.
     They say that one who studies the art of death eventually becomes swallowed up therein becoming like unto the
dead they study; there are many possibilities in this.

Book of the Exhumed (Adventurer Spell (levels 6+) Return to top

Modification-Point Cost (M.P.C.): 60

Prerequisites --------------------------- : Necromancer.

Ability-points to invoke:

None (this is a spell).

1 hour (720 turns).

Damage:

None.

Duration:

See: "Explanation".Return to top

Effect Time:

Instant.

Explanation:

Return to top

The Necromancer will put together a book containing a person or creature’s life, from birth to death, thus creating the “Book of the Exhumed”.

 

Read this book aloud at the resting place of the dead. The more information gathered and read, the better chance you have to create an undead servant that may one day live again (1% per point of fact about the creature's life will be the % chance to succeed with this in-depth spell). Maximum chance: 91%

 

If this spell is failed, a random undead will be created from the body of the deceased. If this is the case, the undead that comes forth from the gravesite will pit its mental-strength against the necromancers (race to 4). If the necromancer wins, the undead will become a familiar. If the necromancer loses, the undead will be set free to act for itself (thus destroying the body of the deceased -- there will also be a 10% chance of destorying the spirit of the deceased). If this happens the only thing left will be the creature's mind.

 

Note:

This is the initial beginning of the Aegis Familiar, for if this spell is successful, Aegis Familiar can then be cast on the Familiar created.

 

See: "Susceptibilities".

Related Spell: "Aegis Familiar".

Two hands. The Book of the Exhumed must be held within the hands as it is read aloud.

Note:

When the Necromancer begins to cast this spell upon an undead, if the undead is sentient, it will instantly know what is about to happen, should it fail the avoidance-roll against the necromancer (it will go to any extreme to either escape, or destroy the caster before the spell is completed).

 

A non-sentient undead will not perceive anything of the sort.

Damage:

None.

Duration:

Permanent. See: "Explanation".

Instant.

Harrowlith Skeleton: 2 points each.

White Skeleton:         1 point each.

 

Note:

It is up to the caster to choose one, or more, undead to make a permanent slave, but the caster must make this decision when the undead break forth out of the earth.

 

These are NOT familiars, but slaves. Each will do the caster's bidding on it's own to the best of its ability. Not ideal, and not as good as familiars, but they do the job the best they can.

Effect Time:

1-D10 turns (5-50 seconds) for each undead to break free of its grave.

Even then, when the spell is cast, the one performing the dance must make a successful avoidance-roll vs. "Coordination" and "Dexterity" during the dance in order to get all the movements right. If the dancer fails, the Teardrop special gem will be wasted.
