'''Skeletons and Skeletal Mages'''<br />
In earlier versions of the game, one skeleton warrior or mage was summoned for each point in the skill. Since v1.10 only five skeletons may be summmoned, but each one is much more effective.(And the screen is much less crowded.)
The attack ratings for summoned creatures are based on the Necromancer's level, and can not be raised with equipment or more points in the skills.
'''Required Level:''' 1<br />

Golem Mastery adds more Hit Points to the Golem's Original Base Life, not the Life shown with more than one point into a Golem skill. Clay Golem: 100 HP, Blood Golem: 201 HP, Iron Golem: 306, Fire Golem: 328Before placing more than a few points, or more than one point (with +Skills Items), look at the speed of the Golem. If he keeps up with you, that's probably enough points in Golem Mastery. The speed benefit is nice to allow the Golem to keep up with you, especially * Most useful if you have Faster Run/Walk boots. Another benefit of his increased speed is to allow him to reach his targets more quickly. However if he's able re planning to do both fine at his current speed, additional points for speed reasons are not necessary.Another benefit use a lot of Golem Mastery is to allow your Golem to survive longer. HoweverIron Golems, if your Golem dies, you since the others can simply make another one. If your Golem is not dying a lot and/or Mana is not a problem, and speed is not a problem, be recast as often as you'll receive no real benefit for having additional points in Golem Masterylike.{|

|}Utilizing a small quantity of his own blood, the Necromancer is able to give life to a creature neither living nor dead, yet formed of human tissue. This homunculus gains nourishment from the fresh blood of its slain enemies, from which it replenishes its strength. Tied to the Necromancer through the mage's own blood, the Blood Golem is able to share this stolen life force with his master. Unfortunately, the link flows both ways, and any damage taken by the Golem is also transmitted to the caster.'''Effect''': Summons a Golem that is linked to the caster's health. The Blood Golem steals the listed percentage of the current hit points of the target. For example, Level 1 Blood Golem (steals 86%), attacking a 500 Hit Point monster would steal 430 Hit Points. As monster Hit Points go up on higher difficulty levels, and as more people join a game, the Blood Golem steals more life.Hit Points stolen by the Blood Golem are not subtracted from the target.The Golem gains 70% of the health it steals while the player gains 30%. If the current life + stolen life > maximum life of the Blood Golem, the Hit Point overflow goes to the Necromancer. If the current life + stolen life > maximum life of the Necromancer, the Hit Point overflow returns to the Golem up to the maximum life for each target.Necromancers can't be killed by a Blood Golem taking too much damage, however, your health may be lowered to a point where other monsters may easily kill you.When a Blood Golem is hit when the Necromancer has Bone Armor on, damage is directly taken from health skipping Bone Armor.{|
