Necromancer

The user's magical abilities revolve around manipulating the dead, death, the life-force and/or souls. Users can also use communicate with the deceased, either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge.

Many practitioners find a way to cheat death one way or another, whether by becoming some form of undead creature or by bypassing their own ability to die.

Undead Leader

The first task of a Necromancer is to gain a army of undead to command. For them, the larger army you control represents how powerful of a Necromancer you are.A Necromancer is a gateway to the dead realm allowing those who have perished to rise again and serve their mighty leader.

Death Tools

The Phylactery is the tool of a Lich that grants them their immortallity. The item used is usually something that the Lich held dear in life, wether it be a family heirloom, or an item that remainds them of a life changing event.

The ritual in which they become a Lich is known as "Ritual of Becoming" or "Ceremony of Endless Night." The process is often described as requiring the creation and consumption of a deadly poition, the Elixir of Defilation, which is to be drunk on a full moon. The creation of the potion is always created through acts of utter evil, such as using as an ingredient the blood of an infant slain by the potential sorcerer's own hand, or other,similarly vile components. the potion invariably kills the drinker but if the process is successful it rises again some days later as a lich. Occasionally, this metamorphosis occurs by accident as a result of life-prolonging magic.

Creating A Necromancer

Necromancers are often a part of a cult that they have learned their magic from. They typically come from middle class and are lead by another more powerful necromancer usually this one is also from a higher stature usually some form of nobility. Necromancers are always looking to summon more powerful undead to fight for them. As a necromancer gets older they start to look for ways to extend their own life to even posess immortality.

Each creature within 60 ft. must make a Strength or Dexterity saving throw equal to your spell DC for every round that they are within the range of the vortex. Creatures within reach of an anchored object may use their reaction to grab onto the object, granting them advantage on the save. On a success, creatures slide 5 feet towards the center, but are able to move away from the center of the abyss, treating each movement away as difficult terrain. On a failed save, the creature is dragged 15 feet toward the dark hole, cannot move on its turn, and gets sucked into the dark dimension when they are within the boundaries of the hole. While there, creatures take 7d10 necrotic damage each turn. They can escape the dimension by succeeding the saving throw on their turn. Creatures within the dimension have disadvantage on their saving throws to escape. Creatures within the dimension when the duration is up are ejected into an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the entrance to the abyss (or the nearest unoccupied space if none are left), take 3d6 bludgeoning damage from the sudden return to reality, and are dazed until the end of their next turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th or higher, increase the distance pulled by 5 feet, and the radius of its influence by 10.

With a single gesture, you turn the enemy inside out. When you cast the spell on a living target, it is forced to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target take 6d12 necrotic damage and looses half of its speed. On a successful save it takes half damage and its speed is reduced by 25%.

Each round you maintain concentration on this spell, you force the target to take additional Constitution saving throws:

Round 2. On a failed save, you deal 6d12 necrotic damage to the target, and its speed is reduced to 0. On a successful save it takes half damage and its speed is reduced to 50% of its original total movement speed.

Round 3. On a failed save you deal 6d12 necrotic damage to the target, and give the target a disadvantage on attack rolls. On a successful save the target takes half damage and is not disadvantaged.

Round 4. On a failed save you deal another 6d12 necrotic damage to the target, and give the target disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws. On a successful save the target takes half damage and is disadvantaged only on saving throws.

Round 5. On a failed save you deal 12d12 necrotic damage to the target.

When casting this spell or at anytime during its continuation, the target is already under or drops to under 100 hit points it is turned fully inside out and dies.

If the spell is used against an object, it automatically fails its save and is destroyed. All constructs are immune to this spell.
