📋 About This Mod

Adds a simple and lightweight necromancy system.

Necromancer's Tome / Yet another necromancy mod

This mod does not require OBSE

This mod adds a simple necromancy system which is as lightweight and vanilla friendly as possible, by keeping the number of scripted spells to a minimum and only using vanilla items and objects where possible.

The Tome

The Necromancer's Tome can be found in Moss Rock Cavern and will teach you the spells. There you will also be given the chance to join the Necromancer cult faction, this allows you to buy supplies off of generic Necromancer's found in the game [ Shout out to 2020Noob0 for this idea :) ]. Necromancer adepts carry more stuff for trade and will also offer training in Conjuration. Joining isn't necessary to get the Tome however.

Moss Rock's accompanying quest "The Gravefinder's Repose" has also been given a small alternative ending where you can spare Raelynn the Gravefinder, she will then become the best Necromancer merchant in the game.

                           Minions 

Minions must fist be constructed from parts then reanimated using a reanimate spell/Staff of worms and a black soul gem filled with the bind soul spell, however you require skill in Conjuration to be able to control the minion, if you lack the required skill level it will attack anything ( including you ) it sees.

Skeleton - 25 Conjuration

Zombie - 25

Skeleton Guardian - 50

Headless Zombie - 50

Skelton Hero - 75

Dread Zombie - 75

Skeleton Champion - 100

Shambles - 100

Skeletons may be given weapons/shields/arrows to wield before being reanimated.

Zombies may be reanimated for a second time if killed, this does not require another soul.

The Bind soul
