Usage

This basic necromancer skill is the foundation of the necromancer 'blood' skill group. Before sacrificing the corpse to the gods, a necromancer may sacrifice the blood, drawing power from the blood and giving mana to the sacrificer.

Note that this implies there must be blood present. Undead, elemental, and a slew of other creatures have no blood, and you cannot perform a blood sacrifice on those corpses.

In addition to restoring the magical powers of the sacrificer, a small amount of health may also be obtained. When in dire need, a blood sacrifice may mean the difference between life and death.

You may also perform the sacrifice on behalf of another party.

Notes

  • Large corpses can have enough blood to allow multiple blood sacrifices from them
  • Having your minions Consume corpses reduces the amount of blood available for this skill substantially, and vice versa
