I think first we should perfect drawing Vitality in a 1:1 ratio before that.

There's no guarantee a 1:1 ratio is possible, and if it is, learning more about it (which this accomplishes) is the only way we're going to figure it out.

It may be the numbers for an area effect version differ quite a bit, and we've got no other proposals for increasing efficiency.

We know that /happened/, yes. But what are the details?

How sure are we that this is the case?

Actually, reviewing that information would probably be a good idea - how do we know that steal vitality takes 6hp from a target?

The "up to 6 1/3 back" rule is based on observing a healthy tree with Sense Vitality, Stealing Vitality and comparing the amount of Vitality the tree lost and the amount of Vitality you sucked out in usable form. Which is not to say this is exactly how the spell works.

I will say that the information in that Spells spoiler is based purely upon your observations, and is not necessarily a "this is how it works" statement. For example, Raise Zombie takes an unknown amount of Vitality, but waaaaaay back in update 1 it was assumed that the spell took 2 Mana, because that's what you observed in your first casting.

Carry on then!

    As I was sitting on my throne contemplating necromancy I realized we still haven't figured out what the third school of necromancy is.

Life magic has three schools as we recently found out they have two beneficial schools, and one harmful school. If my theory is correct Necromancy will have two harmful schools ,and one beneficial school.

    I just realized I might not have been to clear what I meant by schools of magic. I meant disciplines. life magic has healing, growth, and imbalance. So far we know necromancy has zombie, and golem so if i'm right our third discipline will be healing.

Has anyone else noticed that no matter what, other necromancers seem to go on bloody rampages and world conquering sprees? Could there possibly a reason for this other than plot advancement? Will we come to a point where we become a meglomaniac?

It was for a film project. I regret nothing.

Power corrupts you have to have willpower to prevent it. Hopefully we have the willpower to change the stigma of necromancy.

Woah. There is nothing that has shown that power corrupts.
We are just an elf who is now a necromancer, and we are exploring the world to learn more about it or so.
Anyway, its not like we have to be evil.
