| Deathsight | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | DEATHSIGHT [OFF] |

| Essence | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | ESSENCE
CONFIG PROMPT ESSENCE <on|off> |

| Dissect | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | DISSECT <organ> FROM <creature>
AUTOPSY <creature> |
| Description: | You are able to see and extract organs from a fresh, undefiled corpse.
The higher your skill in necromancy, the more types or organs you will be able to find in a corpse. Please note that the corpse must be in your inventory for both of these commands. Also note that the corpse must be of a certain strength, and not have already been dissected in order to be dissected or autopsied. |
| Chill | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | CHILL <player> |
| Description: | Use this ability to freeze a player in two or three stages. If the target has a caloric salve applied, this will nullify the caloric salve. If he doesn't, then it will set him shivering, which will regularly cause him to lose equilibrium. If you chill a shivering person, you will freeze him or her completely. |
| Nightsight | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | NIGHTSIGHT |
| Description: | Nightsight will allow you to see normally while under the cover of darkness. |

| Decay | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | DECAY <target> |
| Description: | You have gained the standard attack of the Necromancer. Your touch is enough to cause the flesh of your victim to wither. It does magical damage. |

| Lifevision | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | LIFEVISION |
| Description: | You are a Necromancer, attuned to the life essences of all living beings (the better to destroy them and take their essence). With this power, you will be better able to see through many illusions and hiding defences. |
| Shrivel | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | SHRIVEL <arms|legs|headTemplate:Throat> <player>
SHRIVEL <left |

|---|---|
| Syntax: | SOULMASK |
| Description: | With this ability, you may mask your aura from those who would read it. |
| Cannibalism | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | DRAW HEART
CONSUME HEART |
| Description: | This is truly the joy of the Necromancer. If there is a corpse on the ground that has not already been victimized by a fellow Necromancer, you may DRAW HEART. Then, in an orgy of gastronomic pleasure, you may CONSUME HEART. The greater the experience of the player who "gave" you the heart, the greater your gain in life essence will be. Enjoy this pleasure, my murderous friend, for there are few greater in life or death. |
| Sapience | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | SAPIENCE |
| Description: | You draw on your life essence to boost your mana. |
| Vigour | |

| Description: | You draw on your life essence to boost your health. |
| Drain | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | DRAIN <necromancer> |

| Deathaura | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | DEATHAURA [OFF] |
| Description: | This ability will create, at a cost of life essence, an aura of death and evil that will harm those around you. The skill will only hit your enemies and does more damage to those with devotion and less to those who are undead. |
| Disfigure | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | DISFIGURE <player> |
| Description: | Using this ability, you will cause your opponent's visage to become so horrific that even his closest allies will turn on him. The chaos and fickleness of emotion and sentiment is a wonderful thing, is it not? |

| Rot | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | ROT <player> |
| Description: | At the cost of a very large amount of life essence, you are able to bestow what is perhaps the most terrible of all curses: Farag's Rot. Farag, who was an ancient necromancer, was a master of his craft. This is his legacy. Should your target die whilst afflicted with Farag's Rot, a spawn of Farag will burst forth from his or her chest.
While relatively weak, this creature will then go on to infect another target with Farag's Rot before retreating. |
| Exterminate | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | EXTERMINATE |
| Description: | Using your command of the energies of death, you are able to wipe a forest area clean of plant life, replenishing some of your essence. Be warned though, there is an essence cost to this ability, and unless there is a sufficient amount of plant life in the room, you may lose essence using it. It should also be noted that an exterminated room is no longer considered a forest or garden room, so many Druidic abilities will not work in such a room. |
| Vengeance | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | VENGEANCE |
| Description: | At the cost of a fair amount of life essence, you will exact revenge on your killers when you die. |
| Regeneration | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | REGENERATE (player) |
| Description: | Using the inherent power of the necromancer, you may instill life essence into the corpse of a fallen combatant to raise them from the dead. |
| Blackwind | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | BLACKWIND
HUMAN CHOKE |
| Description: | This allows you to take the form of the deadly blackwind. While in this form, your freedom is severely limited, but your ability to be harmed is also severely restricted. After you have become the blackwind, you have the nefarious ability to slip down a victim's throat and CHOKE him. While in blackwind form, you will lose willpower very quickly as you strain to hold your nebulous form together. HUMAN is the command to return to your normal form. |
| Vivisect | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | VIVISECT <player> |
| Description: | Evil as you are, you find yourself enjoying live experimentation, preferably on people you know. Once your victim is splayed out and helpless, meaning all four of his or her limbs are withered, you may perform your experiments, killing your victim in horrifying agony. |
| Soulcage | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | SOULCAGE |
| Description: | This is perhaps the greatest of the necromantic abilities, and carries with it the greatest life essence cost. It allows you to spin a web of life essence around your very soul, protecting it from death. |
