Death Magic

Death Magic is a necromancer secondary attribute.

“

Without Death Magic, you can control no more than two undead servants. For every two ranks of Death Magic, you can control one additional undead servant. Many Necromancer skills, especially those that animate undead servants, manipulate corpses, and deal cold damage, become more effective with higher Death Magic.

Notes

• It is the Necromancer's most offensive attribute line, with many skills spreading and benefiting from disease, causing degeneration (health), having effects upon death, or dealing cold damage.
• The Death Magic line has many animated minion and corpse exploitation skills, making this attribute essential in support of minion master's build.
• Aura of the Lich and Masochism increase the Death Magic rank.
