✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,047 endorsements and 35k downloads — clearly a hit among Oblivion players.
- Turns necromancy into a whole new skill, not just a few spells — adds real depth for dark magic fans.
- Permanent undead followers and a faction to join give long-term goals, not just one-off spells.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — might have compatibility issues with newer mod setups or the Steam version.
- Description cuts off mid-sentence, so the 'build' feature is vague — you'll need to check the mod page for full details.
- No explicit requirements listed, so you may need to test for conflicts with other magic overhauls.
For Oblivion players who want necromancy to feel like a true career path, not just a side branch of conjuration. If you enjoy building an undead army and joining dark factions, this is your mod. Skip if you prefer vanilla-style magic or don't want to manage followers.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the description is incomplete, check the mod's forum posts or readme for the 'build' feature details before diving in.
- If you use other magic overhauls, load this mod after them to avoid conflicts with spell lists.
- Consider using a mod manager like Wrye Bash to keep track of this mod alongside your other Oblivion mods.
