Death spell book: where are my armies of the shambling dead?

July 1, 2010 12:00:02 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

could be me, but the summoning elements seem a little light. I would really like to see something more of a necromantic take to the Death spellbook. Hordes of dead minions, sucking away at the soul of the land.....just me I guess

Well it is only version one of the spell book list, and everything looks a little light to me. Unless there's already models for zombies and other undead, a "raise undead" spell probably won't be in vanilla, but I can't imagine that it'd be too hard to mod in.

Partying with Waldo.

No signs of undead except for the avatar of a wolf... but that's old. I don't remember seeing any other art or comment about undead. Not that they wouldn't be easy to add.

The book of the Necromancer is one of the spell books but we're not (though the modders will certainly find it) going to go into too many details on it.

Bam!  So one lucky nation will probably have access to this kind of development, but only one.  That is, in my opinion, a good thing (if it does turn out to be the case).  Once that nation gets steam rolling it would be time for everyone else to gang up to stop them!

It's probably one that will have to be "found" and isn't allowed as a starting spellbook.

Yeap that would put me one step closer to being a generic fantasy villain.

I hope the Sovereigns will be able to get basic spells from any school of magic in the beginning, including some skeleton or zombie summon from death magic.

Only the really powerful stuff should be left for "special" books that have to be quested.

And I hope it will still be possible for magic specialists to research and "rewrite" most of the more powerful stuff.
