Original Sin 2 Necromancer

For ability in Divinity: Original Sin and its Enhanced Edition, see Witchcraft.

Necromancer is a combat ability, utilising magic known as necromancy and is essential for memorising and casting necromancer spells in Divinity: Original Sin II.

Description

Necromancer is a combat ability focused on dealing Physical or Piercing damage and restoring the user's health by causing damage. This combat ability will allow caster to heal themselves whenever they deal damage directly to their enemies health.

Note: This combat ability DOES NOT increase damage done with necromantic spells. It only increases the amount of health gained by it as well as allowing caster to learn more advanced forms of necromancy.

Bonuses Per Point Invested

• All tiers - Heal for 10% of damage dealt.

Craftable

Following spells can only be acquired by crafting. This is achieved by combining 1 Necromancer spellbook with 1 elemental book of choice. Resulting spellbook will require atleast 1 point in corresponding combat ability in order to be learnt. If there is atleast 1 source spellbook used in crafting, the resulting spellbook will also utilise source.

Base

Base skillbooks are obtained whenever non-source Necromancer skillbook is combined with another non-source skillbook. Resulting skillbook will be a mix of both skillbooks and will require investment in both combat abilities under which the skillbooks belong. Example: In order to learn and cast Raining Blood, character needs 1 point in both Necromancer and Hydrosophist combat abilities.

Source

Source skillbooks are obtained whenever non-source Necromancer skillbook is combined with source skillbook and vice versa. One way or another there has to be source skillbook involved in crafting otherwise the resulting book will be non-source skillbook. Like base craftable skillbooks these also cannot be bought from traders in game.
