| Calls forth a plague of scarabs, infesting affected creatures for a duration depending on power and causing death scarabs to grow and burst from them upon death. |
Infestation is a level 8 Necromancy spell that applies the 'infested' status to monsters in a 5x5 smite-targeted area; a friendly death scarab erupts out of the victims when they die.
Strategy
Infest the weaker monsters in a horde and kill them quickly to spawn a bunch of scarabs. Death scarabs are incredibly good allies; they are very fast, slow down enemies, are undead, and deal great damage. They also last for a fairly long time, letting you Infest new monsters you encounter to replenish your horde.
