|description = Using this ability, you will touch the mind of the Under King. While doing so, you will be alerted whenever anyone dies. You can also turn it off once you have started it, in case the amount of people passing to the Under King is too much for you.

|syntax = ESSENCE

|description = You can tell at a glance how much essence you possess. Necromancers who embrace the gift of undeath are able to use their essence more effectively.

AUTOPSY <creature>

|description = You are able to see and extract organs from a fresh, undefiled corpse.

Please note that the corpse must be in your inventory for both of these commands.

|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.

|description = Nightsight will allow you to see normally while under the cover of darkness.

|description = You will seek out the very life essence of a player, gaining you the knowledge of his location.

 

|description = Cast a shroud of darkness over a location.

|description = This will draw a shroud of concealment over your actions.

|description = You have gained the power of the banshee. Your very scream will drive those who can hear you out of the location.

|syntax = BELCH

|description = This ability will allow you to belch forth a cloud of foul, poisoning gas that will hurt anyone breathing it in, except you.

|syntax = TAINT <player>

|description = This ability will use your evil necromantic power to attack the living, draining their life force.

|syntax = LEECH <player>

|description = This is the skill of draining another's mental energy to add to your own.

|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.

|syntax = SHRIVEL <arms{{!}}legs{{!}}head{{!}}throat> <player>

SHRIVEL <left|right> <arm|leg> <player>

|description = Bestowing the gift of necromancy to your grasp, you cause damage to the bone marrow of your enemy. You will shrivel their limbs or even their throat, sometimes those screams are just so pesky.

|description = With this ability, you may mask your aura from those who would read it.

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.

|skillname = Sapience

|syntax = SAPIENCE

|description = You draw on your life essence to boost your mana.

|description = With this ability you can transfer life essence from yourself to another necromancer. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect transfer and some life essence will be lost in the process.

|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.

|skillname = 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?

|description = The ability will cause rotting hands to rise up from the ground to grab at the ankles of any who try to escape. Only those whom are an enemy will be grasped by those from the grave.

|syntax = GRAVECHILL

|description = Your decay attacks will be empowered with the chill of the grave, chilling your opponent.

|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.

|description = At the cost of a fair amount of life essence, you will exact revenge on your killers when you die.

|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.

|syntax = BLACKWIND  

HUMAN

|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.

|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.

|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.
