 Necromancer
- Axe Mastery - Hammer Mastery - Strength - No Attribute -
 Necromancers are masters of the dark arts, calling on the spirits of the dead, and even death itself, to overpower enemies and assist allies. In sacrificing Health and taking curses and diseases upon themselves, they can deal large amounts of damage to those foolish enough to oppose them. Dead and dying enemies become unwilling allies in their hands.
Necromancers have the singular ability to absorb Energy from an enemy’s death, and can raise a fighting force from the corpses of their foes. Curses, which often cost the Necromancer dearly, exact an even greater toll from enemies, who find that their Enchantment Spells and healing skills are rendered useless. Due to the sacrificial nature of their methods, successful Necromancers practice patience and self-discipline to stay alive.
All skills are shown with minimum and maximum values. The minimum is with 0 points in the related attribute; the maximum is with 15 points in the related attribute. It is possible to have more than 15 points in a given attribute, but values will need to be calculated on the 15-point figures given in the individual descriptions.
Blood Magic - Points in this attribute increase the duration and effectiveness of skills linked to Blood Magic (i.e., skills that require a sacrifice on the part of the caster).
Curses - Points in this attribute increase the duration and effectiveness of many Necromancer skills, especially those that reduce the target's effectiveness in battle.
Death Magic - Points in this attribute increase the duration and effectiveness of skills linked to Death Magic (i.e., skills that animate and control undead, and those that cause cold or shadow damage).
Soul Reaping - Primary Attribute (Available to Primary Necromancers only). Points in this attribute increase the amount of Energy a Necromancer gains from each death on the battlefield.
No Attribute - Some skills in each profession are not directly tied to a character's attributes. Unlike other skills that can be improved with the application of points into a specific attribute, these skills do not change, but are static in their properties.
