Necrotise is a level 1 Necromancy spell which fires a beam of negative energy against a single target; it must succeed against the enemy's willpower to function. If it kills the target, or the target is killed within one turn after, they will turn into a skeleton on your side.
Necromancers begin with this spell in their libraries. Kikubaaqudgha will also always gift this spell at 1* of piety.
Useful Info
Other than dealing direct damage, this spell creates derived undead, in the form of skeletons.
Enchantment Power
This spell has a special modifier to success rate:
Enchantment Power: 3.5 × spell power
Early on, this spell is effectively 3.5 times more powerful than the "typical" Hex. However, it has such a low power cap that it becomes virtually useless against later mid-game and end-game enemies.
Skeletons
HD of skeletons depends on the spellpower: minion_hd = mons_hd * (100 + pow) / 300. This means that at the max spellpower skeletons will have 1/2 of their original HD. Skeletons will last for around 27 turns, regardless of spellpower. There is no limit to the amount of skeletons that you can create.
Strategy
- Note that your own skeletons can block Necrotise's line of fire.
Monster Spell
Monsters have access to the Pain spell, which deals the same damage but doesn't create a skeleton.
History
- Necrotise was introduced in 0.29, combining the effect of Pain (without the self damage) and Animate Skeleton.
