After days of trying to survive the second floor of the one tower in my world, I finally made off with the necromancers' slab. When I read it, all it says is "The secrets of life and death" and nothing seems to happen.

Is the ability to raise dead not used from the ability menu or something? Or is this not the right slab?
Or, third possibility, does a race have to have a certain token to be able to do this? I made goblins playable and I've been using them each time I've tried so far, so maybe that could be the issue... I dunno.

If anyone could shed some light on the situation I'd really appreciate it

Modding could have something to do with it. I have only seen human and dwarf necros so far, but don't know if necromancy is limited to certain species.

You definitely have the right slab, and yes animate dead is an ability. There should also be some icon.

You can actually read, right? (No offense, just asking because sometimes people forget to put points in reader skill.)

[centerflag982]

Yeah, novice reading. Possible that it is race-related - though I can't see any tokens anywhere that might relate to such an ability

Goblins and elves are immortal. Necromancers are immortal, a immortal cannot be immortal twice. Thus elves and goblins are not eligible for necromancy. Give them a max age and they will be eligible.

Ohhhhh huh. Didn't know goblins were. Thanks

I don't think this is true--goblins will simply not care to become necromancers because the primary reason for becoming a necromancer is immortality, which goblins have no reason to worry about.

[centerflag982]

Yeah, seems to be the case... even with a max age set it still doesn't work.

I'm trying to just leave the slab for another character but it seems to somehow return to the tower after a certain amount of time

[Gaybarowner]

Leave the slab infront of the tower always works for me

[Deus Asmoth]

If you leave the slab very far away, it'll also stay put. You could even build a fortress around it if you wanted, though you'd need to put it in a landmark to make it easy to find, like a shrine or volcano or something.

From the secret's example reaction:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

   [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
      [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
      [IT_REQUIRES:MORTAL]
      [IT_REQUIRES:CAN_LEARN]
      [IT_REQUIRES:CAN_SPEAK

This would imply the creature reading the slab is only a possible target if it meets these requirements. MORTAL just means not immortal or otherwise has a MAXAGE token. Elves and goblins are immortal (have no MAXAGE token) and are thus not a candidate.
