Necrotise is a level 1 Necromancy spell which fires a beam of negative energy against a single target; it must succeed against the enemy's willpower to function. If it kills the target, or the target is killed within one turn after, they will turn into a skeleton on your side.

Necromancers begin with this spell in their libraries. Kikubaaqudgha will also always gift this spell at 1* of piety.

Skeletons

HD of skeletons depends on the spellpower: minion_hd = mons_hd * (100 + pow) / 300. This means that at the max spellpower skeletons will have 1/2 of their original HD. Skeletons will last for around 27 turns, regardless of spellpower.

Enchantment Power

This spell has a special modifier to success rate:

Enchantment Power: 3.5 × spell power

Early on, this spell is effectively 3.5 times more powerful than the "typical" Hex. However, it has such a low power cap that it becomes virtually useless against later mid-game and end-game enemies.

Strategy

  • Note that your own skeletons can block Necrotise's line of fire.

Monster Spell

Monsters have access to the Pain spell, which deals the same damage but doesn't create a skeleton.
