Age of Conan Necromancer Spells

Necromancer Spells

Through years of dark research Stygian Necromancers command the powers of death and the dead. Necromancers can summon corpses from the very ground. These undead minions assist the caster in a number of ways, attacking and defending the caster.

In addition to controlling undead minions, Necromancers cast a number of devastating spells that inflict enemies with decay, dark magic and death.

Check out the Necromancer spells below for a peek at what this caster class can do.
