ACTUAL AB FILE:
Syntax: DEATHSIGHT
RELAX DEATHSIGHT
Using this ability, you will touch the mind of Thoth, the Deathgod. While doing
so, you will be alerted
whenever anyone dies.
==================================================================================
Syntax: CHILL
<player>
Use this ability to freeze a player in two or three stages. If the target has a
caloric salve applied,
this will nullify the caloric salve. If he doesn't, then
it will set him shivering, which will regularly cause him to
lose equilibrium.
If you chill a shivering person, you will freeze him or her completely.

Syntax: SENSE <player>
You will seek out the very life essence of a player, gaining you the knowledge
of his location.
====================================================================================
Syntax:
DECAY <target>
You have gained the standard attack of the Necromancer. Your touch is enough to
cause the flesh of your
victim to wither. It does magical damage.
===================================================================================

many illusions and hiding defences.

Syntax:
SOULMASK
With this ability, you may mask your aura from those who would read it.
===================================================================================
Syntax:
DRAW HEART
CONSUME HEART
This is truly the joy of the Necromancer. If there is a corpse on the ground
that has not already been
victimized by a fellow Necromancer, you may DRAW
HEART. Then, in an orgy of gastronomic pleasure, you may CONSUME HEART.
The
greater the experience of the player who "gave" you the heart, the greater your
gain in life essence will be.
Enjoy this pleasure, my murderous friend, for
there are few greater in life or death.
It is important to note that how much life essence you get is modified by the
experience of your victim.
=====================================================================================
Syntax:
ESSENCE
This will tell you how much life essence you possess.
==================================================================================
Syntax:
SAPIENCE
Essence: 1.5%
You draw on your life essence to boost your mana.
===================================================================================
Syntax:
VIGOUR
Essence: 1.5%
You draw on your life essence to boost your health.
======================================================================================
Syntax:
PUTREFACTION
SOLIDIFY
Essence: 1%
By turning your flesh into a semi-liquid, rotting state, you gain some measure
of immunity from edged
weapons. This will drain your health away though, so use
it with caution.
===================================================================================
Syntax:
DRAIN <necromancer>
With this ability you can transfer life essence from yourself to another
necromancer. Unfortunately,
it is not a perfect transfer and some life essence
will be lost in the process.
====================================================================================
Syntax:
BELCH
This ability will allow you to belch forth a cloud of foul, poisoning gas that
will hurt anyone breathing
it in, except you.
==================================================================================
Syntax: DEATHAURA
Essence: 1%
This ability will create, for a limited period of time, and at a cost of life
essence, an aura of death
and evil that will harm those of good alignment who
are in your location. The higher their alignment, the more damage
it will do.
====================================================================================
Syntax: DISFIGURE <player>
Using this ability, you will cause your opponent's visage to become so horrific
that even his closest
allies will turn on him. The chaos and fickleness of
emotion and sentiment is a wonderful thing, is it not?

SOULSTORM <player>
This ability will attempt to force a metamorphosized player back into his mortal
form.
===================================================================================
Syntax:
SUMMON HANDS OF THE GRAVE

This ability will cause rotting hands to rise up from the ground to grab at the
ankles of any who try
to leave the location. The only ones who will not be
affected are those with Necromancy....the dead know their own.
===================================================================================
Syntax:
LEPROSY
Essence: 5%
By filling your body with the unclean, you can infect many others in the room
with you, be they friend
or foe, causing random limbs to shrivel up. Useful
against a group.
===================================================================================
Syntax:
EXTERMINATE
Using your command of the energies of death, you are able to wipe a forest area
clean of plant life,
replenishing some of your essence. Be warned though, there
is an essence cost to this ability, and unless there is a sufficient
amount of
plant life in the room, you may lose essence using it. It should also be noted
that an exterminated room
is no longer considered a forest or garden room, so
many Druidic abilities will not work in such a room.
=======================================================================================
Syntax:
VENGEANCE
At the cost of a fair amount of life essence, you will exact revenge on your
killers when you die in
most circumstances.
========================================================================================
Syntax:
EVOKE SOULSPEAR FROM <player corpse>
THROW SOULSPEAR AT <player>
<direction>
Essence cost to evoke it: 2.5%
Soulspear allows the skilled Necromancer to form a weapon forged in the soul of
the dead. By taking
a player corpse, you can form the soulspear. A corpse from a
player level 30 and under has too weak a soul to form such
a powerful weapon out
of. Beyond that, the higher the level of the victim, the more powerful the
soulspear.
Once you have it, you may throw it at someone who is outside your room, anywhere
in your line-of-sight.
It will shatter shields and prismatic barriers, or, if
the person lacks one of those, tear into your victim's flesh, and
impale him.
=======================================================================================
Syntax: BLACKWIND
HUMAN
CHOKE
This allows you to take the form of the deadly blackwind. While in this form,
your freedom is severely
limited, but your ability to be harmed is also severely
restricted. After you have become the blackwind, you have the nefarious
ability
to slip down a victim's throat and CHOKE him. While in blackwind form, you will
lose willpower very quickly
as you strain to hold your nebulous form together.
HUMAN is the command to return to your normal form.
===========================================================================================
Syntax:
VIVISECT <player>
Evil as you are, you find yourself enjoying live experimentation, preferably on
people you know. Once
your victim is splayed out and helpless, meaning all four
of his or her limbs are withered, you may perform your experiments,
killing your
victim in horrifying agony.
==========================================================================================
Syntax:
SOULCAGE
This is perhaps the greatest of the necromantic abilities, and carries with it
the greatest life essence
cost. It allows you to spin a web of life essence
around your very soul, protecting it from death. Soulcage may only be
used once
every 12 Achaean days.
