Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-20T17:18:01Z

PDBOAT: just fixed what i thought might have been a mistake in the way things were worded.

The skill representing one's proficiency with manipulation, disassemblement, and reconstruction of live organic matter. While any profession can train in '''Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy''', it does not apply to any spells or abilities outside of the [[sorcerer]] domain. However, training in Necromancy lore will increase the damage and flare rate done by [[Rotflares|RotFlares]], which are an extremely rare [[item script]].

==[[Sacrifice]] (Ability)==
===Sacrifice===
The spirit loss of 1-2 spirit on a minor failure, or up to 5 on a major one, can be nullified by training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy. At 10 ranks there will be no spirit loss on a failed sacrifice. At 30 ranks there will also be no spirit loss on a successful sacrifice.

Each successful sacrifice has an accompanying cooldown period of 10 minutes. Ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will reduce the time according to the following:

*Ranks 1 to 120: -2 seconds per rank
*Ranks 121 to 200: -0.75 seconds per rank
*Ranks ≥200: -1.5 seconds per rank

The table below lists cooldown durations at various lore thresholds.

|-

|}

===Sacrifice Channel===
Directs the energy of a sacrifice into an Animate, healing it of injuries and refreshing its duration to the original duration. Unlocked at 60 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

===Sacrifice Infest===
Taints the energy of a sacrifice, weakening the next few spawns of the same type of creature for a short amount of time. The weakened creatures will have lower combat numbers such as [[AS]], [[DS]], [[CS]], and [[TD]], but levels will not change; thus, [[creature maneuver]]s will not be weakened. Unlocked at 100 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.
{{Top}}

==[[Rotflares]] (Item Script)==
Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood lost. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
===Bolt===
20 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.
===Opponent Effectiveness Reduction===
Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy also provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to temporarily weaken weapons, shields, and armor for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 [[summation]] of the caster's Necromancy ranks. One of three effects may occur:

#Weapons having 25% less [[damage factor]];
#Shields reducing the target's [[block]] chance by 5% and cause it to suffer -20 to offense with [[shield maneuvers]]; and
#[[Armor Use|Armor]] is reduced by 1 AsG.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. The target must be struck on the right hand or arm for the weapon effect, and on the left hand or arm for the shield effect. Any other location hit will trigger the armor effect.

|}
===Bolt Damage Factor===
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy increases the bolt version only [[Damage factor|damage factor]] (DF).

:{| {{prettytable}}
|- style= "text-align:center; background: #DDD;"
|'''Necromancy<br>Lore Ranks'''||'''<center>Damage Factor<br>Increase</center>'''

|-
|<center>51 to 100</center>||0.001 per two ranks
|-
|<center>101 to 200</center>||0.001 per four ranks
|}
The total DF increase with 200 ranks Necromancy lore is 0.100.
{{Top}}

==[[Limb Disruption (708)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will increase the likelihood of disrupted limbs to reanimate. Only legs and arms (or their equivalents) will reanimate. Hands will never reanimate. Likewise, player limbs will never reanimate.

When cast, there is a random 50% chance to determine if a limb will have the potential to reanimate.
If that check is successful, it takes a
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[d100 + ((50 * Necromancy ranks) / target's level)]</tt></center></div>
The result must be greater than 100 to reanimate.
The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.

==[[Grasp of the Grave (709)]]==
Grasp of the Grave causes 5-6 arms to emerge and immediately attempt to pull all non-flying, un[[group]]ed targets to the ground. Most arms appear as a singular "arm," but there is a 25% chance to get a "pair of arms," which is beneficial to those with Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy training

Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy gives a chance to impose [[grapple critical table|grapple damage]] on the target based on a 2 × seed 2 [[summation]] of Necromancy ranks, including a small chance to outright strangle the target. Arms appearing as a "pair of arms" will have double the chance for damage and strangulation.

|}

==[[Pain (711)]]==
Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

# Increased [[hitpoint]] damage
# Increased target [[roundtime]]
# Lower [[endroll]] thresholds

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

==[[Pestilence (716)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy provides two benefits for the self-cast (reactive flare) version:

*It increases the chance for the reactive flare attack by 2 * seed 9 ranks [[summation]].
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''% chance for reactive flare = 25 + 2 per seed 9 ranks</tt></center></div>

==[[Animate Dead (730)]]==
===Maximum Animatable Level===
MAL is used to determine the highest level of creature a sorcerer can animate. The following formula is used to determine a sorcerer's MAL (note: a sorcerer's MAL is capped at their level + 15):

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><tt>'''MAL = (700s ranks, capped at level) - 10
::'''+ (700s ranks over level ÷ 10, max of 5)
::'''+ (WIS Bonus ÷ 5)
::'''+ ([[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] Ranks ÷ 10)</tt></div>

When animating other characters, add 20 to the creature MAL to get the character MAL.

===Exploding an Animate===
TELL ANIMATE TO EXPLODE will cause a creature animate to explode. This explosion is player character friendly, and will affect a number of targets up to 2 + (Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks ÷ 20). The explosions are elementally themed based on the caster's [[attunement]], and [[Elemental Lore]] training in the element of the explosion will increase the damage of the explosion. The explosion uses the [[standard maneuver roll]] and training in Necromancy Lore increases the chances for the explosion to hit its targets.

==[[Ensorcell (735)]]==
===Additional Strikes===
Sorcerers will retain attack flare bonuses for one extra attack at 90 ranks or two extra attacks at 180 ranks.

===Faster Energy Gain===
Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy provides a flat modifier to the necrotic energy gained for each like-level creature killed (using seed 1 [[Summation Chart|summation]] ÷ 2), with bonuses occurring at discrete rank thresholds as shown in the lore bonus table. Lore ranks between these thresholds provide no added ensorcell benefits.

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-20T17:07:13Z

PDBOAT: it's not a redundant header. sacrifice is the ability followed by sacrifice the verb, and then the sacrifice channel verb followed by the sacrifice infest verb.

The skill representing one's proficiency with manipulation, disassemblement, and reconstruction of live organic matter. While any profession can train in '''Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy''', it does not apply to any spells or abilities outside of the [[sorcerer]] domain. However, training in Necromancy lore will increase the damage and flare rate done by [[Rotflares|RotFlares]], which are an extremely rare [[item script]].

==[[Sacrifice]] (Ability)==
===Sacrifice===
Attempts cause the expenditure of spirit points and 10 sec of RT, regardless of outcome (failures during the cooldown not included). Failed attempts can drain 1-2 spirit on minor failures and up to 5 on major ones. A successful attempt will cost 2 spirit, kill the target, and return mana to the sacrificer.

The spirit loss can be nullified by training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy. At 10 ranks there will be no more spirit loss on a failed sacrifice. At 30 ranks there will be no spirit loss on a successful sacrifice.

Each successful sacrifice has an accompanying cooldown period of 10 minutes. Ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will reduce the time according to the following:

*Ranks 1 to 120: -2 seconds per rank
*Ranks 121 to 200: -0.75 seconds per rank
*Ranks ≥200: -1.5 seconds per rank

The table below lists cooldown durations at various lore thresholds.

===Sacrifice Channel===
Directs the energy of a sacrifice into an Animate, healing it of injuries and refreshing its duration to the original duration. Unlocked at 60 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

===Sacrifice Infest===
Taints the energy of a sacrifice, weakening the next few spawns of the same type of creature for a short amount of time. The weakened creatures will have lower combat numbers such as [[AS]], [[DS]], [[CS]], and [[TD]], but levels will not change; thus, [[creature maneuver]]s will not be weakened. Unlocked at 100 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

==[[Rotflares]] (Item Script)==
Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood lost. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
===Bolt===
20 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.
===Opponent Effectiveness Reduction===
Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy also provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to temporarily weaken weapons, shields, and armor for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 [[summation]] of the caster's Necromancy ranks. One of three effects may occur:

#Weapons having 25% less [[damage factor]];
#Shields reducing the target's [[block]] chance by 5% and cause it to suffer -20 to offense with [[shield maneuvers]]; and
#[[Armor Use|Armor]] is reduced by 1 AsG.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. The target must be struck on the right hand or arm for the weapon effect, and on the left hand or arm for the shield effect. Any other location hit will trigger the armor effect.

The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.

==[[Pain (711)]]==
Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

# Increased [[hitpoint]] damage

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

==[[Animate Dead (730)]]==
===Maximum Animatable Level===
MAL is used to determine the highest level of creature a sorcerer can animate. The following formula is used to determine a sorcerer's MAL (note: a sorcerer's MAL is capped at their level + 15):

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><tt>'''MAL = (700s ranks, capped at level) - 10
::'''+ (700s ranks over level ÷ 10, max of 5)
::'''+ (WIS Bonus ÷ 5)
::'''+ ([[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] Ranks ÷ 10)</tt></div>

When animating other characters, add 20 to the creature MAL to get the character MAL.

===Exploding an Animate===
TELL ANIMATE TO EXPLODE will cause a creature animate to explode. This explosion is player character friendly, and will affect a number of targets up to 2 + (Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks ÷ 20). The explosions are elementally themed based on the caster's [[attunement]], and [[Elemental Lore]] training in the element of the explosion will increase the damage of the explosion. The explosion uses the [[standard maneuver roll]] and training in Necromancy Lore increases the chances for the explosion to hit its targets.

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-20T17:02:08Z

PDBOAT: Undo revision 71710 by VANKRASN39 (talk)

The skill representing one's proficiency with manipulation, disassemblement, and reconstruction of live organic matter. While any profession can train in '''Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy''', it does not apply to any spells or abilities outside of the [[sorcerer]] domain. However, training in Necromancy lore will increase the damage and flare rate done by [[Rotflares|RotFlares]], which are an extremely rare [[item script]].

==[[Sacrifice]] (Ability)==
===Sacrifice===
Attempts cause the expenditure of spirit points and 10 sec of RT, regardless of outcome (failures during the cooldown not included). Failed attempts can drain 1-2 spirit on minor failures and up to 5 on major ones. A successful attempt will cost 2 spirit, kill the target, and return mana to the sacrificer.

The spirit loss can be nullified by training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy. At 10 ranks there will be no more spirit loss on a failed sacrifice. At 30 ranks there will be no spirit loss on a successful sacrifice.

Each successful sacrifice has an accompanying cooldown period of 10 minutes. Ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will reduce the time according to the following:

*Ranks 1 to 120: -2 seconds per rank
*Ranks 121 to 200: -0.75 seconds per rank
*Ranks ≥200: -1.5 seconds per rank

The table below lists cooldown durations at various lore thresholds.

:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks||0||30||60||90||120||200||240
|-
|align="right"|Cooldown (minutes)||10||9||8||7||6||5||4
|}

===Sacrifice Channel===
Directs the energy of a sacrifice into an Animate, healing it of injuries and refreshing its duration to the original duration. Unlocked at 60 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

===Sacrifice Infest===
Taints the energy of a sacrifice, weakening the next few spawns of the same type of creature for a short amount of time. The weakened creatures will have lower combat numbers such as [[AS]], [[DS]], [[CS]], and [[TD]], but levels will not change; thus, [[creature maneuver]]s will not be weakened. Unlocked at 100 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.
{{Top}}

==[[Rotflares]] (Item Script)==
Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood lost. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
===Bolt===
20 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.
===Opponent Effectiveness Reduction===
Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy also provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to temporarily weaken weapons, shields, and armor for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 [[summation]] of the caster's Necromancy ranks. One of three effects may occur:

#Weapons having 25% less [[damage factor]];
#Shields reducing the target's [[block]] chance by 5% and cause it to suffer -20 to offense with [[shield maneuvers]]; and
#[[Armor Use|Armor]] is reduced by 1 AsG.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. The target must be struck on the right hand or arm for the weapon effect, and on the left hand or arm for the shield effect. Any other location hit will trigger the armor effect.

:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks||6||13||21||30||40||51||63||76||90||105||121||138||156||175||195||216||238

|}
===Bolt Damage Factor===
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy increases the bolt version only [[Damage factor|damage factor]] (DF).

:{| {{prettytable}}
|- style= "text-align:center; background: #DDD;"
|'''Necromancy<br>Lore Ranks'''||'''<center>Damage Factor<br>Increase</center>'''
|-
|<center>1 to 50</center>||0.001 per rank
|-
|<center>51 to 100</center>||0.001 per two ranks
|-
|<center>101 to 200</center>||0.001 per four ranks
|}
The total DF increase with 200 ranks Necromancy lore is 0.100.
{{Top}}

==[[Limb Disruption (708)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will increase the likelihood of disrupted limbs to reanimate. Only legs and arms (or their equivalents) will reanimate. Hands will never reanimate. Likewise, player limbs will never reanimate.

When cast, there is a random 50% chance to determine if a limb will have the potential to reanimate.
If that check is successful, it takes a
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[d100 + ((50 * Necromancy ranks) / target's level)]</tt></center></div>
The result must be greater than 100 to reanimate.
The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.

==[[Grasp of the Grave (709)]]==
Grasp of the Grave causes 5-6 arms to emerge and immediately attempt to pull all non-flying, un[[group]]ed targets to the ground. Most arms appear as a singular "arm," but there is a 25% chance to get a "pair of arms," which is beneficial to those with Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy training

Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy gives a chance to impose [[grapple critical table|grapple damage]] on the target based on a 2 × seed 2 [[summation]] of Necromancy ranks, including a small chance to outright strangle the target. Arms appearing as a "pair of arms" will have double the chance for damage and strangulation.

:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks||2||5||9||14||20||27||35||44||54||65||77||90||104||119||135||152||170||189||209||230||252
|-
|align="right"|% chance for grapple damage||2%||4%||6%||8%||10%||12%||14%||16%||18%||20%||22%||24%||26%||28%||30%||32%||34%||36%||38%||40%||42%
|}

==[[Pain (711)]]==
Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

# Increased [[hitpoint]] damage
# Increased target [[roundtime]]
# Lower [[endroll]] thresholds

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

==[[Pestilence (716)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy provides two benefits for the self-cast (reactive flare) version:

*It increases the chance for the reactive flare attack by 2 * seed 9 ranks [[summation]].
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''% chance for reactive flare = 25 + 2 per seed 9 ranks</tt></center></div>

==[[Animate Dead (730)]]==
===Maximum Animatable Level===
MAL is used to determine the highest level of creature a sorcerer can animate. The following formula is used to determine a sorcerer's MAL (note: a sorcerer's MAL is capped at their level + 15):

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><tt>'''MAL = (700s ranks, capped at level) - 10
::'''+ (700s ranks over level ÷ 10, max of 5)

::'''+ ([[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] Ranks ÷ 10)</tt></div>

When animating other characters, add 20 to the creature MAL to get the character MAL.

===Exploding an Animate===
TELL ANIMATE TO EXPLODE will cause a creature animate to explode. This explosion is player character friendly, and will affect a number of targets up to 2 + (Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks ÷ 20). The explosions are elementally themed based on the caster's [[attunement]], and [[Elemental Lore]] training in the element of the explosion will increase the damage of the explosion. The explosion uses the [[standard maneuver roll]] and training in Necromancy Lore increases the chances for the explosion to hit its targets.

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-20T17:00:20Z

Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood lost. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
===Bolt===
20 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.

The result must be greater than 100 to reanimate.
The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy provides two benefits for the self-cast (reactive flare) version:

==[[Animate Dead (730)]]==
===Maximum Animatable Level===
MAL is used to determine the highest level of creature a sorcerer can animate. The following formula is used to determine a sorcerer's MAL (note: a sorcerer's MAL is capped at their level + 15):

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><tt>'''MAL = (700s ranks, capped at level) - 10
::'''+ (700s ranks over level ÷ 10, max of 5)

When animating other characters, add 20 to the creature MAL to get the character MAL.

===Exploding an Animate===
TELL ANIMATE TO EXPLODE will cause a creature animate to explode. This explosion is player character friendly, and will affect a number of targets up to 2 + (Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks ÷ 20). The explosions are elementally themed based on the caster's [[attunement]], and [[Elemental Lore]] training in the element of the explosion will increase the damage of the explosion. The explosion uses the [[standard maneuver roll]] and training in Necromancy Lore increases the chances for the explosion to hit its targets.

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-20T14:44:54Z

PDBOAT: quit deleting this please. it's pertinant information.

The skill representing one's proficiency with manipulation, disassemblement, and reconstruction of live organic matter. While any profession can train in '''Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy''', it does not apply to any spells or abilities outside of the [[sorcerer]] domain. However, training in Necromancy lore will increase the damage and flare rate done by [[Rotflares|RotFlares]], which are an extremely rare [[item script]].

==[[Sacrifice]] (Ability)==
===Sacrifice===
Attempts cause the expenditure of [[spirit]] points and 10 sec of RT, regardless of outcome (failures during the cooldown not included). Failed attempts can drain 1-2 spirit on minor failures and up to 5 on major ones. A successful attempt will cost 2 spirit, kill the target, and return mana to the sacrificer.

The spirit loss can be nullified by training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy. At 10 ranks there will be no more spirit loss on a failed sacrifice. At 30 ranks there will be no spirit loss on a successful sacrifice.

Each successful sacrifice has an accompanying cooldown period of 10 minutes. Ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will reduce the time according to the following:

*Ranks 1 to 120: -2 seconds per rank
*Ranks 121 to 200: -0.75 seconds per rank
*Ranks ≥200: -1.5 seconds per rank

The table below lists cooldown durations at various lore thresholds.

:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks||0||30||60||90||120||200||240
|-
|align="right"|Cooldown (minutes)||10||9||8||7||6||5||4
|}

===Sacrifice Channel===
Directs the energy of a sacrifice into an Animate, healing it of injuries and refreshing its duration to the original duration. Unlocked at 60 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

===Sacrifice Infest===
Taints the energy of a sacrifice, weakening the next few spawns of the same type of creature for a short amount of time. The weakened creatures will have lower combat numbers such as [[AS]], [[DS]], [[CS]], and [[TD]], but levels will not change; thus, [[creature maneuver]]s will not be weakened. Unlocked at 100 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.
{{Top}}

==[[Rotflares]] (Item Script)==
Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood lost. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
===Bolt===
20 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.
===Opponent Effectiveness Reduction===
Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy also provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to temporarily weaken weapons, shields, and armor for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 [[summation]] of the caster's Necromancy ranks. One of three effects may occur:

#Weapons having 25% less [[damage factor]];
#Shields reducing the target's [[block]] chance by 5% and cause it to suffer -20 to offense with [[shield maneuvers]]; and
#[[Armor Use|Armor]] is reduced by 1 AsG.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. The target must be struck on the right hand or arm for the weapon effect, and on the left hand or arm for the shield effect. Any other location hit will trigger the armor effect.

:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks||6||13||21||30||40||51||63||76||90||105||121||138||156||175||195||216||238
|-

|}
===Bolt Damage Factor===
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy increases the bolt version only [[Damage factor|damage factor]] (DF).

:{| {{prettytable}}
|- style= "text-align:center; background: #DDD;"
|'''Necromancy<br>Lore Ranks'''||'''<center>Damage Factor<br>Increase</center>'''
|-
|<center>1 to 50</center>||0.001 per rank
|-
|<center>51 to 100</center>||0.001 per two ranks
|-
|<center>101 to 200</center>||0.001 per four ranks
|}
The total DF increase with 200 ranks Necromancy lore is 0.100.
{{Top}}

==[[Limb Disruption (708)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will increase the likelihood of disrupted limbs to reanimate. Only legs and arms (or their equivalents) will reanimate. Hands will never reanimate. Likewise, player limbs will never reanimate.

When cast, there is a random 50% chance to determine if a limb will have the potential to reanimate.
If that check is successful, it takes a
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[d100 + ((50 * Necromancy ranks) / target's level)]</tt></center></div>
The result must be greater than 100 to reanimate.
The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.

==[[Grasp of the Grave (709)]]==
Grasp of the Grave causes 5-6 arms to emerge and immediately attempt to pull all non-flying, un[[group]]ed targets to the ground. Most arms appear as a singular "arm," but there is a 25% chance to get a "pair of arms," which is beneficial to those with Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy training

Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy gives a chance to impose [[grapple critical table|grapple damage]] on the target based on a 2 × seed 2 [[summation]] of Necromancy ranks, including a small chance to outright strangle the target. Arms appearing as a "pair of arms" will have double the chance for damage and strangulation.

:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks||2||5||9||14||20||27||35||44||54||65||77||90||104||119||135||152||170||189||209||230||252
|-
|align="right"|% chance for grapple damage||2%||4%||6%||8%||10%||12%||14%||16%||18%||20%||22%||24%||26%||28%||30%||32%||34%||36%||38%||40%||42%
|}

==[[Pain (711)]]==
Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

# Increased [[hitpoint]] damage
# Increased target [[roundtime]]
# Lower [[endroll]] thresholds

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

===Maximum Animatable Level===
MAL is used to determine the highest level of creature a sorcerer can animate. The following formula is used to determine a sorcerer's MAL (note: a sorcerer's MAL is capped at their level + 15):

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><tt>'''MAL = (700s ranks, capped at level) - 10

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-20T14:37:49Z

PDBOAT: I readded this information again because it helps explain what spirit loss the necromancy lore negates.

The skill representing one's proficiency with manipulation, disassemblement, and reconstruction of live organic matter. While any profession can train in '''Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy''', it does not apply to any spells or abilities outside of the [[sorcerer]] domain. However, training in Necromancy lore will increase the damage and flare rate done by [[Rotflares|RotFlares]], which are an extremely rare [[item script]].

==[[Sacrifice]] (Ability)==

Failed attempts can drain 1-2 spirit on minor failures and up to 5 on major ones. A successful attempt will cost 2 spirit, kill the target, and return mana to the sacrificer.

The spirit loss can be nullified by training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy. At 10 ranks there will be no more spirit loss on a failed sacrifice. At 30 ranks there will be no spirit loss on a successful sacrifice.

Each successful sacrifice has an accompanying cooldown period of 10 minutes. Ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will reduce the time according to the following:

*Ranks 1 to 120: -2 seconds per rank
*Ranks 121 to 200: -0.75 seconds per rank
*Ranks ≥200: -1.5 seconds per rank

The table below lists cooldown durations at various lore thresholds.

Unlocked at 100 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

==[[Rotflares]] (Item Script)==
Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood lost. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
===Bolt===
20 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.
===Opponent Effectiveness Reduction===
Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy also provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to temporarily weaken weapons, shields, and armor for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 [[summation]] of the caster's Necromancy ranks. One of three effects may occur:

#Weapons having 25% less [[damage factor]];
#Shields reducing the target's [[block]] chance by 5% and cause it to suffer -20 to offense with [[shield maneuvers]]; and
#[[Armor Use|Armor]] is reduced by 1 AsG.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. The target must be struck on the right hand or arm for the weapon effect, and on the left hand or arm for the shield effect. Any other location hit will trigger the armor effect.

==[[Limb Disruption (708)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will increase the likelihood of disrupted limbs to reanimate. Only legs and arms (or their equivalents) will reanimate. Hands will never reanimate. Likewise, player limbs will never reanimate.

When cast, there is a random 50% chance to determine if a limb will have the potential to reanimate.
If that check is successful, it takes a
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[d100 + ((50 * Necromancy ranks) / target's level)]</tt></center></div>
The result must be greater than 100 to reanimate.
The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.

==[[Grasp of the Grave (709)]]==
Grasp of the Grave causes 5-6 arms to emerge and immediately attempt to pull all non-flying, un[[group]]ed targets to the ground. Most arms appear as a singular "arm," but there is a 25% chance to get a "pair of arms," which is beneficial to those with Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy training

Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy gives a chance to impose [[grapple critical table|grapple damage]] on the target based on a 2 × seed 2 [[summation]] of Necromancy ranks, including a small chance to outright strangle the target. Arms appearing as a "pair of arms" will have double the chance for damage and strangulation.

|}

==[[Pain (711)]]==
Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

# Increased [[hitpoint]] damage
# Increased target [[roundtime]]
# Lower [[endroll]] thresholds

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

==[[Animate Dead (730)]]==
===Maximum Animatable Level===
MAL is used to determine the highest level of creature a sorcerer can animate. The following formula is used to determine a sorcerer's MAL (note: a sorcerer's MAL is capped at their level + 15):

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><tt>'''MAL = (700s ranks, capped at level) - 10
::'''+ (700s ranks over level ÷ 10, max of 5)
::'''+ (WIS Bonus ÷ 5)
::'''+ ([[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] Ranks ÷ 10)</tt></div>

When animating other characters, add 20 to the creature MAL to get the character MAL.

===Exploding an Animate===
TELL ANIMATE TO EXPLODE will cause a creature animate to explode. This explosion is player character friendly, and will affect a number of targets up to 2 + (Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks ÷ 20). The explosions are elementally themed based on the caster's [[attunement]], and [[Elemental Lore]] training in the element of the explosion will increase the damage of the explosion. The explosion uses the [[standard maneuver roll]] and training in Necromancy Lore increases the chances for the explosion to hit its targets.

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-20T09:32:39Z

PDBOAT: I wanted to keep the additional information so whoever reads the article would find everything they need on this one page without having to link to other pages. I did keep some of the changes that were made though.

The skill representing one's proficiency with manipulation, disassemblement, and reconstruction of live organic matter. While any profession can train in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy, it does not apply to any spells or abilities outside of the [[sorcerer]] domain. However, training in Necromancy lore will increase the damage and flare rate done by [[Rotflares|RotFlares]], which are an extremely rare [[item script]].

==[[Sacrifice]] (Ability)==
===Sacrifice {Creature}===
Attempts cause the expenditure of [[spirit]] points and 10 sec of RT, regardless of outcome (failures during the cooldown not included). Failed attempts can drain 1-2 spirit on minor failures and up to 5 on major ones. A successful attempt will cost 2 spirit, kill the target, and return mana to the sacrificer.

The spirit loss can be nullified by training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy. At 10 ranks there will be no more spirit loss on a failed sacrifice. At 30 ranks there will be no spirit loss on a successful sacrifice.

Each successful sacrifice has an accompanying cooldown period of 10 minutes. Ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will reduce the time according to the following:

*Ranks 1 to 120: -2 seconds per rank
*Ranks 121 to 200: -0.75 seconds per rank
*Ranks ≥200: -1.5 seconds per rank

The table below lists cooldown durations at various lore thresholds.

:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks||0||30||60||90||120||200||240
|-
|align="right"|Cooldown (minutes)||10||9||8||7||6||5||4
|}

===Sacrifice CHANNEL {creature}===
Directs the energy of a sacrifice into an Animate, healing it of injuries and refreshing its duration to the original duration. Unlocked at 60 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

===Sacrifice INFEST {creature}===
Taints the energy of a sacrifice, weakening the next few spawns of the same type of creature for a short amount of time. The weakened creatures will have lower combat numbers such as [[AS]], [[DS]], [[CS]], and [[TD]], but levels will not change; thus, [[creature maneuver]]s will not be weakened. Unlocked at 100 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.
{{Top}}

==[[Rotflares]]==
Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood lost. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from
{{Top}}

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
20 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy also provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to temporarily weaken weapons, shields, and armor for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 [[summation]] of the caster's Necromancy ranks. One of three effects may occur:

#Weapons having 25% less [[damage factor]];
#Shields reducing the target's [[block]] chance by 5% and cause it to suffer -20 to offense with [[shield maneuvers]]; and
#[[Armor Use|Armor]] is reduced by 1 AsG.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. The target must be struck on the right hand or arm for the weapon effect, and on the left hand or arm for the shield effect. Any other location hit will trigger the armor effect.

==[[Limb Disruption (708)]]==
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy will increase the likelihood of disrupted limbs to reanimate. Only legs and arms (or their equivalents) will reanimate. Hands will never reanimate. Likewise, player limbs will never reanimate.

When cast, there is a random 50% chance to determine if a limb will have the potential to reanimate.
If that check is successful, it takes a
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[d100 + ((50 * Necromancy ranks) / target's level)]</tt></center></div>
The result must be greater than 100 to reanimate.
The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.

Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

# Increased [[hitpoint]] damage

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-19T03:18:31Z

PDBOAT: /* Ensorcell (735) */

{{HSN}}
The skill representing one's proficiency with manipulation, disassemblement, and reconstruction of live organic matter. While any profession can train in '''Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy''', it does not apply to any spells or abilities outside of the [[sorcerer]] domain. However, training in Necromancy lore will increase the damage and flare rate done by [[Rotflares|RotFlares]], which are an extremely rare [[item script]].

==[[Sacrifice]]==
;*'''[[Sacrifice]] {creature}'''
Attempts cause the expenditure of [[spirit]] points and 10 sec of RT, regardless of outcome (failures during the cooldown not included). Failed attempts can drain 1-2 spirit on minor failures and up to 5 on major ones. A successful attempt will cost 2 spirit, kill the target, and return mana to the sacrificer.

The spirit loss can be nullified by training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]]. At 10 ranks there will be no more spirit loss on a failed sacrifice. At 30 ranks there will be no spirit loss on a successful sacrifice.

Each successful sacrifice has an accompanying cooldown period of 10 minutes. Ranks in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] will reduce the time according to the following:

*Ranks 1 to 120: -2 seconds per rank
*Ranks 121 to 200: -0.75 seconds per rank
*Ranks ≥200: -1.5 seconds per rank

The table below lists cooldown durations at various lore thresholds.

;*'''[[Sacrifice]] CHANNEL {creature}'''
Directs the energy of a sacrifice into an Animate, healing it of injuries and refreshing its duration to the original duration. Unlocked at 60 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]].

;*'''[[Sacrifice]] INFEST {creature}'''
Taints the energy of a sacrifice, weakening the next few spawns of the same type of creature for a short amount of time. The weakened creatures will have lower combat numbers such as [[AS]], [[DS]], [[CS]], and [[TD]], but levels will not change; thus, [[creature maneuver]]s will not be weakened. Unlocked at 100 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]].
{{Top}}

==[[Rotflares]]==
Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]]; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]].
{{Top}}

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood loss. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from
{{Top}}

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
20 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.

[[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] also provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to temporarily weaken weapons, shields, and armor for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 [[summation]] of the caster's Necromancy ranks. One of three effects may occur:

#Weapons having 25% less [[damage factor]];
#Shields reducing the target's [[block]] chance by 5% and cause it to suffer -20 to offense with [[shield maneuvers]]; and
#[[Armor Use|Armor]] is reduced by 1 AsG.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. The target must be struck on the right hand or arm for the weapon effect, and on the left hand or arm for the shield effect. Any other location hit will trigger the armor effect.

|}

Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] increases the bolt version only [[Damage factor|damage factor]] (DF).

{| {{prettytable}}
|- style= "text-align:center; background: #DDD;"
|'''Necromancy<br>Lore Ranks'''||'''<center>Damage Factor<br>Increase</center>'''

|-
|<center>51 to 100</center>||0.001 per two ranks
|-
|<center>101 to 200</center>||0.001 per four ranks
|}
The total DF increase with 200 ranks Necromancy lore is 0.100.
{{Top}}

==[[Limb Disruption (708)]]==
Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] will increase the likelihood of disrupted limbs to reanimate. Only legs and arms (or their equivalents) will reanimate. Hands will never reanimate. Likewise, player limbs will never reanimate.

When cast, there is a random 50% chance to determine if a limb will have the potential to reanimate.
If that check is successful, it takes a
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[d100 + ((50 * Necromancy ranks) / target's level)]</tt></center></div>
The result must be greater than 100 to reanimate.
The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.
{{Top}}

==[[Grasp of the Grave (709)]]==
Grasp of the Grave causes 5-6 arms to emerge and immediately attempt to pull all non-flying, un[[group]]ed targets to the ground. Most arms appear as a singular "arm," but there is a 25% chance to get a "pair of arms," which is beneficial to those with [[Grasp of the Grave (709)#Lore_Benefit|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] training

Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] gives a chance to impose [[grapple critical table|grapple damage]] on the target based on a 2 × seed 2 [[summation]] of Necromancy ranks, including a small chance to outright strangle the target. Arms appearing as a "pair of arms" will have double the chance for damage and strangulation.

|}
{{Top}}

==[[Pain (711)]]==
Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

# Increased [[hitpoint]] damage
# Increased target [[roundtime]]
# Lower [[endroll]] thresholds

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

==[[Pestilence (716)]]==
Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] provides two benefits for the self-cast (reactive flare) version:

*It increases the chance for the reactive flare attack by 2 * seed 9 ranks [[summation]].
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''% chance for reactive flare = 25 + 2 per seed 9 ranks</tt></center></div>

==[[Animate Dead (730)]]==
;*'''[[Maximum Animatable Level]]'''
MAL is used to determine the highest level of creature a sorcerer can animate. The following formula is used to determine a sorcerer's MAL (note: a sorcerer's MAL is capped at their level + 15):

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><tt>'''MAL = (700s ranks, capped at level) - 10
::'''+ (700s ranks over level ÷ 10, max of 5)
::'''+ (WIS Bonus ÷ 5)
::'''+ ([[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] Ranks ÷ 10)</tt></div>

When animating other characters, add 20 to the creature MAL to get the character MAL.

;*'''Exploding an Animate - Lore Benefits'''
TELL ANIMATE TO EXPLODE will cause a creature animate to explode. This explosion is player character friendly, and will affect a number of targets up to 2 + ([[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] ranks ÷ 20). The explosions are elementally themed based on the caster's [[attunement]], and [[Elemental Lore]] training in the element of the explosion will increase the damage of the explosion. The explosion uses the [[standard maneuver roll]] and training in Necromancy Lore increases the chances for the explosion to hit its targets.

==[[Ensorcell (735)]]==
Sorcerers training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] receive two benefits from Ensorcell.

;*'''Additional Strikes'''
Sorcerers will retain attack flare bonuses for one extra attack at 90 ranks or two extra attacks at 180 ranks.

[[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] provides a flat modifier to the necrotic energy gained for each like-level creature killed (using seed 1 [[Summation Chart|summation]] ÷ 2), with bonuses occurring at discrete rank thresholds as shown in the lore bonus table. Lore ranks between these thresholds provide no added ensorcell benefits.

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-19T03:12:21Z

PDBOAT: /* Animate Dead (730) */

{{HSN}}
The skill representing one's proficiency with manipulation, disassemblement, and reconstruction of live organic matter. While any profession can train in '''Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy''', it does not apply to any spells or abilities outside of the [[sorcerer]] domain. However, training in Necromancy lore will increase the damage and flare rate done by [[Rotflares|RotFlares]], which are an extremely rare [[item script]].

==[[Sacrifice]]==
;*'''[[Sacrifice]] {creature}'''
Attempts cause the expenditure of [[spirit]] points and 10 sec of RT, regardless of outcome (failures during the cooldown not included). Failed attempts can drain 1-2 spirit on minor failures and up to 5 on major ones. A successful attempt will cost 2 spirit, kill the target, and return mana to the sacrificer.

The spirit loss can be nullified by training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]]. At 10 ranks there will be no more spirit loss on a failed sacrifice. At 30 ranks there will be no spirit loss on a successful sacrifice.

Each successful sacrifice has an accompanying cooldown period of 10 minutes. Ranks in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] will reduce the time according to the following:

*Ranks 1 to 120: -2 seconds per rank
*Ranks 121 to 200: -0.75 seconds per rank
*Ranks ≥200: -1.5 seconds per rank

;*'''[[Sacrifice]] CHANNEL {creature}'''
Directs the energy of a sacrifice into an Animate, healing it of injuries and refreshing its duration to the original duration. Unlocked at 60 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]].

;*'''[[Sacrifice]] INFEST {creature}'''
Taints the energy of a sacrifice, weakening the next few spawns of the same type of creature for a short amount of time. The weakened creatures will have lower combat numbers such as [[AS]], [[DS]], [[CS]], and [[TD]], but levels will not change; thus, [[creature maneuver]]s will not be weakened. Unlocked at 100 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]].
{{Top}}

==[[Rotflares]]==
Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]]; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]].
{{Top}}

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood loss. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from
{{Top}}

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
20 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.

[[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] also provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to temporarily weaken weapons, shields, and armor for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 [[summation]] of the caster's Necromancy ranks. One of three effects may occur:

#Weapons having 25% less [[damage factor]];
#Shields reducing the target's [[block]] chance by 5% and cause it to suffer -20 to offense with [[shield maneuvers]]; and
#[[Armor Use|Armor]] is reduced by 1 AsG.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. The target must be struck on the right hand or arm for the weapon effect, and on the left hand or arm for the shield effect. Any other location hit will trigger the armor effect.

{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks||6||13||21||30||40||51||63||76||90||105||121||138||156||175||195||216||238

Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] increases the bolt version only [[Damage factor|damage factor]] (DF).

{| {{prettytable}}

The total DF increase with 200 ranks Necromancy lore is 0.100.
{{Top}}

==[[Limb Disruption (708)]]==
Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] will increase the likelihood of disrupted limbs to reanimate. Only legs and arms (or their equivalents) will reanimate. Hands will never reanimate. Likewise, player limbs will never reanimate.

When cast, there is a random 50% chance to determine if a limb will have the potential to reanimate.
If that check is successful, it takes a
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[d100 + ((50 * Necromancy ranks) / target's level)]</tt></center></div>
The result must be greater than 100 to reanimate.
The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.
{{Top}}

==[[Grasp of the Grave (709)]]==
Grasp of the Grave causes 5-6 arms to emerge and immediately attempt to pull all non-flying, un[[group]]ed targets to the ground. Most arms appear as a singular "arm," but there is a 25% chance to get a "pair of arms," which is beneficial to those with [[Grasp of the Grave (709)#Lore_Benefit|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] training

Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] gives a chance to impose [[grapple critical table|grapple damage]] on the target based on a 2 × seed 2 [[summation]] of Necromancy ranks, including a small chance to outright strangle the target. Arms appearing as a "pair of arms" will have double the chance for damage and strangulation.

==[[Pain (711)]]==
Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

# Increased [[hitpoint]] damage
# Increased target [[roundtime]]
# Lower [[endroll]] thresholds

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

==[[Animate Dead (730)]]==
;*'''[[Maximum Animatable Level]]'''
MAL is used to determine the highest level of creature a sorcerer can animate. The following formula is used to determine a sorcerer's MAL (note: a sorcerer's MAL is capped at their level + 15):

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><tt>'''MAL = (700s ranks, capped at level) - 10
::'''+ (700s ranks over level ÷ 10, max of 5)
::'''+ (WIS Bonus ÷ 5)
::'''+ ([[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] Ranks ÷ 10)</tt></div>

When animating other characters, add 20 to the creature MAL to get the character MAL.

;*'''Exploding an Animate - Lore Benefits'''
TELL ANIMATE TO EXPLODE will cause a creature animate to explode. This explosion is player character friendly, and will affect a number of targets up to 2 + ([[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] ranks ÷ 20). The explosions are elementally themed based on the caster's [[attunement]], and [[Elemental Lore]] training in the element of the explosion will increase the damage of the explosion. The explosion uses the [[standard maneuver roll]] and training in Necromancy Lore increases the chances for the explosion to hit its targets.

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy

2015-11-19T02:58:47Z

PDBOAT: /* Pain (711) */

{{HSN}}
The skill representing one's proficiency with manipulation, disassemblement, and reconstruction of live organic matter. While any profession can train in '''Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy''', it does not apply to any spells or abilities outside of the [[sorcerer]] domain. However, training in Necromancy lore will increase the damage and flare rate done by [[Rotflares|RotFlares]], which are an extremely rare [[item script]].

==[[Sacrifice]]==
;*'''[[Sacrifice]] {creature}'''
Attempts cause the expenditure of [[spirit]] points and 10 sec of RT, regardless of outcome (failures during the cooldown not included). Failed attempts can drain 1-2 spirit on minor failures and up to 5 on major ones. A successful attempt will cost 2 spirit, kill the target, and return mana to the sacrificer.

The spirit loss can be nullified by training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]]. At 10 ranks there will be no more spirit loss on a failed sacrifice. At 30 ranks there will be no spirit loss on a successful sacrifice.

Each successful sacrifice has an accompanying cooldown period of 10 minutes. Ranks in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] will reduce the time according to the following:

*Ranks 1 to 120: -2 seconds per rank
*Ranks 121 to 200: -0.75 seconds per rank
*Ranks ≥200: -1.5 seconds per rank

The table below lists cooldown durations at various lore thresholds.

;*'''[[Sacrifice]] CHANNEL {creature}'''
Directs the energy of a sacrifice into an Animate, healing it of injuries and refreshing its duration to the original duration. Unlocked at 60 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]].

;*'''[[Sacrifice]] INFEST {creature}'''
Taints the energy of a sacrifice, weakening the next few spawns of the same type of creature for a short amount of time. The weakened creatures will have lower combat numbers such as [[AS]], [[DS]], [[CS]], and [[TD]], but levels will not change; thus, [[creature maneuver]]s will not be weakened. Unlocked at 100 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]].
{{Top}}

==[[Rotflares]]==
Hit percentage of the flare increases at 36, 136, and 171 ranks in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]]; with 171 ranks causing a flare nearly every swing. The duration of the effect and the damage [[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) of the disease increase based on the seed 1 of the [[summation chart]]. Initial damage is not affected by [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]].
{{Top}}

==[[Blood Burst (701)]]==
Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] allows the caster to receive an infusion of blood directly from the wounded creature. Blood is returned upon each successful warding and every subsequent round of blood loss. Only one rank of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] is required to activate this effect. A caster fully doubled in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] at level 100 will receive 50% (rounded down) of the blood loss. There is no limit to the number of creatures a caster can be drawing blood from at once, and there is no limit on distance they can be drawing from
{{Top}}

==[[Disintegrate (705)]]==
20 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a [[bolt]] spell, which is cast using <tt>PREP 705, [[EVOKE]] {target}</tt>.

[[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] also provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to temporarily weaken weapons, shields, and armor for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 [[summation]] of the caster's Necromancy ranks. One of three effects may occur:

#Weapons having 25% less [[damage factor]];
#Shields reducing the target's [[block]] chance by 5% and cause it to suffer -20 to offense with [[shield maneuvers]]; and
#[[Armor Use|Armor]] is reduced by 1 AsG.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. The target must be struck on the right hand or arm for the weapon effect, and on the left hand or arm for the shield effect. Any other location hit will trigger the armor effect.

|}
The total DF increase with 200 ranks Necromancy lore is 0.100.
{{Top}}

==[[Limb Disruption (708)]]==
Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] will increase the likelihood of disrupted limbs to reanimate. Only legs and arms (or their equivalents) will reanimate. Hands will never reanimate. Likewise, player limbs will never reanimate.

When cast, there is a random 50% chance to determine if a limb will have the potential to reanimate.
If that check is successful, it takes a
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[d100 + ((50 * Necromancy ranks) / target's level)]</tt></center></div>
The result must be greater than 100 to reanimate.
The ability of the limb to drag a target down is
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center><tt>'''[((caster's level - target's level) * 6) + d150]</tt></center></div>
If that is greater than 100, it is successful. (Info provided by GM Estild.)

Reanimated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard [[roundtime]]. Reanimated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated.
{{Top}}

==[[Grasp of the Grave (709)]]==
Grasp of the Grave causes 5-6 arms to emerge and immediately attempt to pull all non-flying, un[[group]]ed targets to the ground. Most arms appear as a singular "arm," but there is a 25% chance to get a "pair of arms," which is beneficial to those with [[Grasp of the Grave (709)#Lore_Benefit|Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] training

Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] gives a chance to impose [[grapple critical table|grapple damage]] on the target based on a 2 × seed 2 [[summation]] of Necromancy ranks, including a small chance to outright strangle the target. Arms appearing as a "pair of arms" will have double the chance for damage and strangulation.

==[[Pain (711)]]==
Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

# Increased [[hitpoint]] damage
# Increased target [[roundtime]]
# Lower [[endroll]] thresholds

Necromancy Lore increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 seconds RT with [[endroll]]s of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

==[[Animate Dead (730)]]==
:Necromancy Lore increases a character's [[MAL]] by ranks ÷ 10; increases the number of possible targets to 2 + (ranks ÷ 20); and increases the chances for the explosion to hit the targets.

==[[Ensorcell (735)]]==
:At 90 and 180 ranks, sorcerers will retain the flare bonus for an additional attack. Necromancy also allows a sorcerer to gain energy faster by giving a [[Ensorcell_(735)#Necromancy_Lore_Bonus_Table|per creature bonus]] based on a seed 1 [[summation]] (i.e. fewer kills needed to reach maximum energy per week).

Spiritual Mana Control

2015-11-19T00:05:42Z

PDBOAT: /* Sorcerer Base */

{{TOCright}}
The '''Spiritual Mana Control''' [[skill]] serves the same purpose as [[Mental Mana Control]] and [[Elemental Mana Control]]; it determines the efficiency with which a player can share [[mana]] with other players via [[SEND (verb)]]. [[Cleric]]s, [[sorcerer]]s, and [[empath]]s are the [[pure]] professions that benefit the most from SMC, along with the [[ranger]] and [[paladin]] [[semi]] professions. The maximum benefit for sharing mana is achieved at twenty-four ranks, though many casters continue to train in it to aid some of their spells, increase the rate of return of their mana, or compensate for another player's low skill. It should be noted that even at maximum efficiency, there is still approximately a 5% loss of mana during the transfer.

This skill directly increases the amount of [[mana]] gained per pulse.
* If this is your primary mana control skill, then you will receive a bonus of one [[mana]] per pulse for every ten (10) ranks. For Hybrid (multi-Realm) professions, your "primary" realm for mana control is defined as "that one--of the two of which you are a Hybrid--in which you have the most ranks of Mana Control."
* If this is your secondary mana control skill--you are a Hybrid (multi-Realm) profession and this is the Realm in which you have fewer ranks of Mana Control--then you will receive a bonus of one (1) [[mana]] per pulse for every twenty (20) ranks.

SMC also factors into avoiding [[spell burst]], [[runestaff]] defense, and some [[alchemy]] skills (mainly determining success at the training cauldrons).

==Spells and Abilities Affected by SMC==
====[[MANA (verb)]] (ability)====
Determines or helps determine sorcerer, empath, paladin, ranger, and cleric MANA SPELLUP and MANA PULSE proficiency.
====[[Minor Spiritual]]====
*[[Spirit Dispel (119)]] - every 75 skill bonus will reduce mana cost for ending a spell by one
*[[Spirit Guide (130)]] - reduces severity of the sickness
====[[Major Spiritual]]====
*[[Living Spell (208)]] - decreases mana needed to cast a stolen spell by 1% per 2 ranks
*[[Major Sanctuary (220)]] - increases the chance of success
*[[Spirit Slayer (240)]] - [[CS]] boost is 25 + seed 5 ranks
====[[Cleric Base]]====
*[[Raise Dead (318)]] - reduces the chance of a raise injuring or killing the caster; the chance is 100% - SMC bonus and reaches 0% at 24 ranks
*[[Divine Wrath (319)]] - increases the damage of the secondary flare and reduces the time between casts

====[[Ranger Base]]====
*[[Imbue (614)]] - increases the success rate

====[[Sorcerer Base]]====
*'''[[Mana Disruption (702)]]''' - Mana Disruption has a chance to temporarily disable an enhancement (defensive) spell on a target for 15 seconds. Using the caster's Spirit and Elemental Mana Control (with the higher of the two counting all ranks and the lesser counting half ranks), it uses a seed 1 summation to determine the % chance to disrupt a spell. If the caster has higher SMC, it will attempt to randomly select a spiritual spell first
*'''[[Corrupt Essence (703)]]''' - Training in Elemental Mana Control and Spiritual Mana Control increases the number of targets available in the open cast version of the spell, with the higher of the two counting all ranks and the lesser counting half ranks. If they are trained equally, divide one of them by 2. [# of targets = 1 + (SMC + EMC (lower one counts for half) ÷ 20)]
*'''[[Balefire (713)]]''' - The chance that a demon will attack is equal to 2% for each Seed 1 bonus point of the Summation chart. Use SMC and EMC skill bonus separately to determine the bonus
*'''[[Scroll Infusion (714)]]''' - The amount of mana drained for a given spell on an infusion attempt is largely based on the spell’s level and sphere (magic that sorcerers do not have knowledge of, such as mentalist magic, require more mana to charge). High levels of Mana Control training (spiritual and elemental) will reduce the mana required.
*'''[[Dark Catalyst (719)]]''' - The amount of mana returned is modified by training in Elemental Mana Control and Spiritual Mana Control.
*'''[[Implosion (720)]]''' - Training in Elemental Mana Control and Spiritual Mana Control will reduce the mana cost.
*'''[[Ensorcell (735)]]''' - Spiritual Mana Control Ranks is a secondary factor in the success of Ensorcell.
*'''[[Planar Shift (740)]]''' - Training in Elemental and Spiritual Mana Controls improves the chances for success in an unknown way
*'''[[Sacrifice]] (ability)''' - A combined Elemental Mana Control and Spiritual Mana Control skill bonus of 102 (24 ranks total) is required to obtain the full amount of mana from a sacrifice.

====[[Empath Base]]====
*[[Sympathy (1120)]] - with [[Mental Mana Control]], increases the number of possible targets at the rate of ((MMC + SMC) / 10)
*[[Troll's Blood (1125)]] - lessens the interval between stun break attempts
*[[Regeneration (1150)]] - reduces interval between regeneration pulses by one second per 100 SMC skill
====[[Paladin Base]]====
*[[Rejuvenation (1607)]] - reduces the cost by 1% for every 3 ranks
*[[Divine Word (1640)]] - reduces the chance of a raise injuring or killing the caster; the chance is 100% - SMC bonus and reaches 0% at 24 ranks

==Scrolls and Magical Items==
Characters trained mana controls to gain applicable additional benefits from spells activated by items using [[Magic Item Use]] or scrolls using [[Arcane Symbols]] will receive full benefits when the spell cast through the item/scroll is a native learned spell to the character's profession, a minor circle spell, or known through a spell knowledge enhancive item. When the spell is a major circle or unknown profession base spell, only half of the pertinent mana control ranks count toward the effect of the spell activated/invoked.
