Poison Dagger Required Level: 6 Prerequisites: None

The apothecary skills of the Necromancer lay fundamentally in the studies of venoms, toxins and other poisonous substances. Not only can a skilled Necromancer identify the various strains of poison that he might come across, but he also maintains a ready supply of samples. Rarely does he shy from their use. In a common application of this skill, the Necromancer paints his dagger with a thin coat of virulent poison. The greater his ability, the more potent the poison.

Effect: Adds poison damage to a dagger.

Poison Dagger can be extremely deadly should you focus on it. The Poison Dagger Spell is designed to offer Necromancers the option to effectively use another weapon type should he choose that path to follow. There are some rare, high-level, Necromancer oriented daggers in the game that will be desired by any poisonous player.

Corpse Explosion Required Level: 6 Prerequisites: Teeth [1]

Every corpse created as a result of a violent death carries with it the anguish of its final moments. With this spell the Necromancer is able to call upon those energies and focus them into a single violent force. This force then expels itself from the carcass with such power that it causes a dramatic explosion.

Effect: The targeted corpse explodes, damaging all nearby enemies.

If you want to make a big mess, Corpse Explosion is the skill for you. Once dubbed "The Best Skill of All Time" by Blizzard Employees, Corpse Explosion is a favorite among many. Corpse Explosion is great for clearing out crowds of monsters very quickly. All you need to destroy large groups monsters is a body, and to lead that group of monster near that body. Explode the corpse to create a new corpse, continue to use Corpse Explosion until there is nothing left. Minions and Bone Spells can help you create an initial corpse to use, then you just have to lead the monsters near the bodies when you cause them to explode. As you put more points into Corpse Explosion you can hit monsters further away from the corpse.

Corpse Explosion does 50% Physical damage and 50% Fire damage. Monsters that are resistant to Fire will take less damage.

Bone Prison Required Level: 24 Prerequisites: Teeth [1], Bone Armor [1], Corpse Explosion [6], Bone Wall [12], Bone Spear [18],

Similar to the Bone Wall, a Necromancer with this skill can summon a spirit wall of bone in the form of an enclosing ring. This prison traps all enemies within its circumference. Imprisoned within a cage of bone, the captives are held helpless until they can summon the strength to break through its skeletal confines or the Necromancer loses his hold over the spirits.

Effect: Summons a ring of bone to surround a target.

Player vs Player: You can use Bone Prison on other players.

Cast Bone Prisons on bosses or players and curse them with Iron Maiden. If they try to escape the Bone Prison they will harm themselves. You can also summon a Golem inside the Bone Prison to fight whatever is inside. Cast spells such as Bone Spear or Bone Spirit at the enemies inside the Bone Prison.

Note, this is not the same Bone Prison that Diablo uses. Diablo has his own Bone Prison type spell that no player can use.

Nightmare/Hell: The stats shown below are only for Normal difficulty. The Bone Prison hit points increase for Nightmare, and again for Hell Difficulty.

Poison Nova Required Level: 30 Prerequisites: Poison Dagger [1], Teeth [1] Corpse Explosion [6], Poison Explosion [18]

This spell befouls the atmosphere surrounding the caster. With an arcane chant, the Necromancer corrupts the very air we breathe and causes it to erupt in all directions.

Effect: A ring of poison explodes from the Necromancer.
