Unanimate

Necromancer is supremely skilled in handling corpses of all kinds (corpse handling branch). While they are generally inert, some corpses rise up as undead of various kinds and that interferes with necromancer's plans. But they are still corpses. With Unanimate spell the necromancer can disperse the negative energy that powers the target undead, ultimately reverting them back to their inert form. This manifests as a combat spell that hits the lowest resist but is only effective against undead. It doesn't disperse the negative energy into nothingness, some of it is converted to necromancer's health but with lower ratio than other draining spells. On the other hand, the spell does much more damage so the lower draining ratio is often more than compensated.

Improved Unanimate

The necromancer has gained an improved understanding of unanimate. The spell now deals 20% more damage.

Extended Unanimate

The necromancer has gained an extended understanding of unanimate. The spell now deals 20% more damage.

Enhanced Unanimate

If the target of unanimate has less than 15% hitpoints left after the spell, the remaining negative energy completely loses its cohesion and the undead reverts to dead right away.

Revive

With the knowledge of death energies within corpses the necromancer is now able to use a mummified corpse to revive a fallen comrade. The spell finds a mummified corpse in necromancer's inventory and consumes it to work its magic. The corpse must be from a monster of higher level than the player to be revived but the spell picks the smallest of those if necromancer has more of them. I.e. if necromancer is trying to revive a player with effective level of 135, the spell requires mummified corpse of a monster of level at least 136. If necromancer has corpses from monsters of levels 120, 140 and 160, the spell uses the one from level 140 because 120 is too low and 140 is the lowest that is sufficient. Also, this only works for a short time, the player must be dead for less than 30 seconds for the spell to work. The revived character returns to life with 19% of hitpoints, just about safe from reaper spell.

Improved Revive

Increases the hitpoints of revived player by extra 11% of maxhp.

Extended Revive

Increases the hitpoints of revived player by extra 15% of maxhp.

Enhanced Revive

Increases the hitpoints of revived player by extra 25% of maxhp.

Advanced Revive

Increases the hitpoints of revived player by extra 30% of maxhp. If all upgrades succeed then with this skill the character would be revived with full hitpoints. In that case mana and move are also restored and lost exp (or sickness duration) is halved.

Mass Revive

With the revive spell the necromancer can bring back fallen comrade from death. But if there are more of them fallen, it can take a while to revive them all and the clock is ticking. After all, the time to force the soul back into the corpse and restore the life force is limited. With mass revive there is no need to worry who to revive first and who may be too late. Mass revive attempts to revive all player corpses in the room, as long as the necromancer has sufficient number of mummified corpses at hand. The spell selects the mummified corpses the same way as the standard revive spell. It starts reviving players from the highest level. It doesn't matter as long as the necromancer has enough mummified corpses to revive the whole group but if they are few mummified corpses short then the most powerful group members are revived first, for better chance of further survival.
