Raise and subjugate the dead to your will and use their remains to extend your power over the living. Conjure terrifying armies of the undead, cast powerful walls of dark magic, wield giant bone swords and transform yourself into a dark skeletal abomination. You can now decimate the battlefield by mercilessly desecrating the bones of the departed.
The dead are a great resource to be manipulated and exploited by those willing to go beyond the moral line determined by most societies, as nothing is prohibited for those who seek to master the dark arts. The Necromaster Skills mod adds two powerful artifacts, which bring a new type of tactical gameplay to Skyrim, allowing you to create bone constructs during battle and make use of them to dominate your enemies and strengthen your attacks, each with special abilities. Additionally, you can overwhelm your enemies with destructive dark spells that explode into mists of shadow, create giant bone totems that drain the vitality of your victims, bring from the void a schythe-like arm of a terrifying Gravelord to use as your weapon in combat, and envelop yourself through polymorphic magic into a protective and terrifying Bone Tyrant form, transforming your appearance into the exact physical definition of terror.
When playing as a Necromaster, you must carefully position yourself and your creations strategically for maximum effect, giving these new abilities an especially tactical yet deadly playstyle. All of this, of course, requires mastery of Conjuration (lvl.100) and expensive amounts of magicka, but, especially when transformed into the Bone Tyrant form, you will gain a huge boost that allows you to use the other skills more easily, skills that are made with the intention, obviously, of being used together in the same playstyle. Whatever your role, Necromaster Skills brings powerful new dark tools to your dark wizard experience.
The new artifacts are:
Amulet of the Necromaster
"Become the master of Shadow and Death."
(the ingame value of the object is affected by the character's level
and skills, so do not take it into consideration, as it is variable)
When using the amulet, the following conditions are applied to your character:
50 extra points increase in Magicka;
Magicka regenerates 100% faster;
Health regenerates slowly;
Stamina no more regenerates;
A dark energy effect is applied to your character;
Ring of the Bonemage
''Control the bones of the dead, summoning
them as terrible abominations."
(the ingame value of the object is affected by the character's level
and skills, so do not take it into consideration, as it is variable)
When using the ring, the following conditions are applied to your character:
100 extra points increase in Conjuration skills;
50 extra points increase in Magicka;
Health regenerates slowly;
Stamina no more regenerates;
When equipped, they give you the following skills/spells:
(the first 3 skills are given by the amulet, and the last 3 skills are given by the ring, all requiring lvl 100 in Conjuration)
Necromaster Transformation (conjuration)-
"Take the form of a dreadful Bone Tyrant."
You transform yourself through the polymorph spell into a Bone Tyrant for 3 min (can be used as many times as the player wants per day). As my suggestion, use this transformation first, and then the other skills while transformed. To return to human form before the end of the 3 minutes just cast the spell on yourself again.
When transformed, the following conditions are applied to your character:
You receive an armor rating of 700 (similar to a medium lvl set of heavy armor with legendary upgrade stats, and affected/increased by your perks);
All poisoned stats get cured;
All diseases get cured;
You become immune to toxins and poisons;
You have 50% extra resistance to Magicka;
Your Magicka regenerates 70% faster;
You have 300 extra points increase in your Magicka;
You have 100 extra points increase in Conjuration;
You have 40 extra points increase in Destruction;
You have 60 extra points increase in One-handed;
You have 40 extra points increase in Block;
You have 300 extra points increase in your Health;
Your speed is reduced (but not considerably).
Necromaster Blade (conjuration)-
"Summon the Necromaster Blade, made from the arm of a sinister Gravelord."
Conjure this weapon in combat, and not only kill but soul trap the souls of your victims with this sword made of the bones of the fallen. The Bone Tyrant form gives you special skills to use this weapon more deadly. Despite heavy, and consequently relatively slow as well, the sword has a big damage input value.
The conjured blade has the following conditions:
100 points of base damage (and increased/affected by your perks);
Max lvl of soul trap enchantment;
Extra chances of critical hit (and increased/affected by your perks);
Reach superior to most one-handed sword due to its lenght.
Necromaster Shadowbombs (conjuration)-
"Project explosive shadow spells that will embrace and destroy your enemy."
You can cast shadowbombs that will explode in mists of darkness and will deal area damage to your enemies, damaging both their health and magic. They are slow, but you can launch a huge number of them at the same time in several directions, creating real minefields.
The conjured shadowbombs have the following conditions:
50 points of health damage per second for 4 seconds, a total of 200 points of damage per explosion to health;
25 points of stamina damage per second for 4 seconds, a total of 100 points of damage per explosion to stamina.
Necromaster Minions (conjuration)-
"Summon an army of pesky Bonelings to outnumber your enemies."
These small skeletons are reanimated constructions created from the remains of children. You can conjure small clusters of bones on the ground coated with necro magicka, and when they touch the ground they will transform into Bonelings. Weak, but easily capable of overpowering your enemies when in large numbers, you can create as many Bonelings as you want, which will only dissipate when destroyed, unlike a common summon. However, they will follow you like normal summons, which will allow you to take with you a true army of death.
(POSSIBLE ISSUE: BE CAREFUL WHEN SUMMONING THE BONELINGS, SINCE IF YOU SHOOT BONE CLUSTERS AT ALREADY SUMMONED BONELINGS, SOME MAY TURN AGAINST YOU BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUFFERED DAMAGE WITH THE IMPACT, SO RESPECT THE SPACE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT MINIONS WHEN SUMMONING MORE.)
Necromaster Servant (conjuration)-
"Conjure a powerfull Bone Colossus to aid you in combat."
This skill works in a similar way to the spell that creates Bonelings, but this skill creates a much more powerful Necromaster Servant (Bone Colossus variant). Another difference is the fact that each casting only creates one of them, but you can create as many as you want by just casting the spell multiple times. Like the Bonelings, the Bone Colossus will also follow you.
(POSSIBLE ISSUE: BE CAREFUL WHEN SUMMONING THE BONE COLOSSI, SINCE IF YOU SHOOT BONE CLUSTERS AT ALREADY SUMMONED BONE COLOSSI, SOME MAY TURN AGAINST YOU BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUFFERED DAMAGE WITH THE IMPACT, SO RESPECT THE SPACE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT SERVANTS WHEN SUMMONING MORE.)
Necromaster Totem (conjuration)-
"Raise a terrifying Necromaster Totem that drains the vitality of your victims."
As in previous cases, this skill projects a bone cluster onto the ground shrouded in darkness from which an imposing Totem made of bones rises. These Totems are static and work by causing area damage, draining the life of your enemies. Like the Necromaster Servant, each cast generates only one Totem, but you can cast the spell as many times as you want.
(POSSIBLE ISSUE: BE CAREFUL WHEN SUMMONING THE BONE TOTEMS SINCE IF YOU SHOOT BONE CLUSTERS AT ALREADY SUMMONED BONE TOTEMS, SOME MAY TURN AGAINST YOU BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUFFERED DAMAGE WITH THE IMPACT, SO RESPECT THE SPACE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT SERVANTS WHEN SUMMONING MORE.)
LORE:
The story behind the artifacts is related to the Black Worm Cult. A Breton vampire named Corvanius Wormfather (a descendant of Thallik Wormfather, first appeared in ESO), was an important man of Mannimarco, and after the latter's defeat, he began a journey to overcome his fallen master. He ended up negotiating with the Ideal Masters, who gave him the knowledge he desired and a place to live and do his experiments;
Corvanius' base is located in Soul Cairn, and is divided into 3 areas. You can find it near the main path leading to the main mausoleum, and is easily distinguishable by the large Black Worm Cult banners. The entrance is guarded by a Wrathman, and I suggest using torches inside. The second area is guarded by a large Bone Colossus, which holds the key to the Necromaster's Ritual Chamber;
Corvanius Wormfather forged a replica of Mannimarco's Necromancer Amulet and a replica of the Ring of the Necromancer also used by the Order of the Black Worm, in order to create the Necromaster Artifacts, which use shards of the Ideal Masters' own crystals as the origin of the skull-shaped gemstone that they possess, and when you find the Necromaster, he will be in the process of mastering the necromaster skills even more deeply;
He is a boss fight in 3 phases, the first one in his human vampire form, when he uses very powerfull
shock magika, life drain, alteration and restoration skills, and will raise the dead on his chamber;
After defeated, in the second phase he turns himself definitively in the Bone Tyrant form, and by giving his human
body as sacrifice he can attain a much bigger form than you can if you just use the form as temporary transformation
and with lesser experience. This form is melee based, but he can also create armies of Bone Minions to aid him;
If you manage to destroy the Bone Tyrant form, he will turn into a third form, a Shade, a dread ethereal form that
you can't attain even using the artifacts yourself due to requiring life-sacrifice. This shade is fast, and only uses
dark magicka. After you kill him, you can loot the artifacts, and use them yourself.
