Effect

Summons an orb that corrupts the flesh of a nearby corpse. Using this orb will corrupt your mind, increasing energy by 26% and intelligence by 26%. The physical corruption reduces hit points by 12% and strength by 12%. All percentages are based off unmodified totals.

Alternate description

A second source words this differently; both are kept rather than one being discarded.

Your mind expands and your body withers, increasing energy by 26% and intelligence by 26%. The physical corruption reduces hit points by 12% and strength by 12%. All percentages are based off unmodified totals.

Not in the emulator. This ability is recorded here but does not appear in the VGO Emulator build. It is kept because this archive records the game as it shipped — see everything else missing from it. Its figures are unverified.

As it was earlier

What guides written while Vanguard was running recorded for this ability. Kept beside the current figures rather than replacing them — the game was rebalanced across its life, so both are right for their own year.

Notes

Not present in the VGO Emulator build as of August 2026 — a player at the level cap went through the whole Necromancer spellbook and does not have it. Kept because this archive records the game as it shipped, not the emulator; the figures are the wiki's and unverified.

(need to verify where this spell is obtained)
