Dispel Undead is a level 4 Necromancy spell which deals AC-ignoring, unavoidable physical damage to a single undead target.
Strategy
Although it only affects a select few opponents, and only at melee range, Dispel Undead is nice to have against them. Good targets in the late-game include liches, curse skulls and curse toes, as well as death cobs. If found early enough, Necromancers can use it to take out wights and other early-D enemies.
Tips & Tricks
- Dispel Undead is very effective against player ghosts. Since player ghosts often have tremendous AC/EV, and Dispel Undead ignores all defenses, it can kill very quickly.
- Keep in mind that it only affects undead, not demons. Necromancers will need another way to kill foes immune to negative energy.
