Description[]
Skill[]
Totems of the Necromancer is a summoning necromancer source skill that allows caster to conjure bone totem at the feet of any living or dead hostile characters in 13 meter radius for 4 turns. The totems have no 
Physical Armour or 
Magic Armour and deal physical damage with its basic ranged attacks. The totems have only 1 Action Point and as such will only attack once per turn.
Since Totems of the Necromancer relies on Necromancy magic it cannot be cast if character is affected by 
Silenced status effect. The projectiles of Bone Totems are reflected back when their target is under Deflective Barrier (Definitive Edition). If the only available target is under such barrier the Totems will skip their turn.
Scroll and Skillbook[]
Totems of the Necromancer skillbook is a magical item that allows its reader to learn Totems of the Necromancer skill, if they have at least 5 points into Necromancer ability, and use it indefinitely. In order to be able to cast the skill, character needs 3 free memory slots. Note that the book will disappear once read. The book weights 0.5 and its base value is 3000 gold. Since Totems of the Necromancer is a master Necromancer skill, traders will start selling the skillbook once Godwoken reach level 16.
Totems of the Necromancer is one of the few magic-based skills in the game that does not have a scroll.
