==[[Bone Armor]]==
'''Required Level:''' 1<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' None<br />
'''Synergies:''' Bone Armor is boosted by points in the following skills:
* [[Bone Wall]]: +15 Damage Absorbed Per Level
* [[Bone Prison]]: +15 Damage Absorbed Per Level
'''Details:''' An orbiting shield that absorbs a set amount of physical damage before vanishing.
* The number of whirling shields decreases as the spell absorbs damage. Reset it to full any time by recasting.
* [[Oblivion Knight]]s commonly found in late Act Four cast this spell.

==[[Poison Dagger]]==
'''Required Level:''' 6<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' None<br />
'''Synergies:''' This skill is boosted by points in the following skills:
* Poison Explosion: +20% Poison Damage Per Level
* Poison Nova: +20% Poison Damage Per Level
'''Details:''' Adds huge poison damage to melee attacks. Since poison damage attacks don't stack, and this one lasts a very long time, it's best used with minions to hide behind, or paired with curses such as Dim Vision or Terror.
* This skill must be used with a dagger-type weapon.
* Poison damage from charms and other equipment will stack with the skill damage.

==[[Corpse Explosion]]==
'''Required Level:''' 6<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' [[Teeth]]<br />
'''Synergies:''' None.<br>
'''Details:''' One of the messiest and most fun skills in the game, Corpse Explosion detonates fallen monster corpses in messy sprays of bone and blood, striking all nearby enemies for substantial fire and physical damage.
* The damage is based on the hit points the monster had when alive, and it scales up to remain effective in Nightmare and Hell. (Though not as effective as it was in earlier versions of the game; shortly after release this skill was insanely overpowered.)
* Corpse Explosion deals 50% fire and 50% physical damage. Pair it with [[Amplify Damage]] or [[Lower Resist]]ances, depending on the monster's resistances. (Amplify Damage is usually the better choice.)
* This skill is most effective when numerous monsters are in range, since a domino effect can be achieved. The standard technique is to [[Iron Maiden]] a pack so they all take some damage, single one out for special attention from [[Bone Spirit]]/[[Bone Spear]], Curse everything with [[Amplify Damage]] once a body hits the floor, and start bombing.
* Corpses can only be used by one corpse skill, so a Necromancer can find himself competing over corpses with his own various summoning skills, [[Barbarian]]s with [[Find Item]], [[Druid]]s with their vine skills, [[Paladin]]s using [[Redemption]], etc.

'''Synergies:''' The damage is boosted by points in the following skills.

* [[Poison Nova]]: +15% Poison Damage Per Level
'''Details:''' Like [[Corpse Explosion]], but with [[poison]] damage. It's not much of an upgrade, and in fact has considerably lower killing power in large games, thanks to the damage not scaling up with hit points, as Corpse Explosion does.

==[[Bone Spear]]==
'''Required Level:''' 18<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' [[Teeth]], [[Corpse Explosion]]<br />
'''Synergies:''' Bone Spear receives substantial damage bonuses from points in various other skills.
* [[Teeth]]: +7% Magic Damage Per Level
* [[Bone Wall]]: +7% Magic Damage Per Level
* [[Bone Prison]]: +7% Magic Damage Per Level
* [[Bone Spirit]]: +7% Magic Damage Per Level
'''Details:''' Bone Spear fires a straight shot of magical damage bone that can pass through any number of targets. It does less damage to each target than [[Bone Spirit]] (until very high levels), but can hit multiple enemies, and is very effective against large mobs, or in narrow hallways, such as inside the [[Maggot Lair]]. Their damage is magical, and they can be made more effective by the use of the [[Lower Resist]]ance or [[Decrepify]] as it also lowers magical resistance.

==[[Bone Prison]]==
'''Required Level:''' 24<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' [[Teeth]], [[Bone Armor]], [[Corpse Explosion]], [[Bone Wall]], [[Bone Spear]]<br />
'''Synergies:''' Bone Prison is boosted by points in the following skills:
* [[Bone Armor]]: +8% Life Per Level
* [[Bone Wall]]: +8% Life Per Level
'''Details:''' Bone Prison functions like [[Bone Wall]], but creates a small circle of bone posts, instead of a long, straight wall. This skill can be targeted at a monster, imprisoning it within the prison. Monsters will target the walls and beat them into splinters, but only if they can not get to the Necromancer or his minions without destroying the bone obstacle first.
* Trap monsters within the wall and use [[Iron Maiden]] to hurt them as they fight free.
* Bone Prison can capture other players in PVP.
* Diablo's similar spell has a much cooler graphic.
* The Bone Prison hit points scale up considerably in Nightmare and Hell Difficulty.

==[[Poison Nova]]==
'''Required Level:''' 30<br />

'''Synergies:''' Poison Nova's damage is boosted by points in the following skills:
* [[Poison Dagger]]: +10% Poison Damage Per Level
* [[Poison Explosion]]: +10% Poison Damage Per Level
'''Details:''' Poison Nova sends out an expanding circle of toxic bolts, [[poison]]ing everything within range, and virtually everything on the screen. The damage of this skill is inflicted over just two seconds, so it can be fairly powerful, but must be used repeatedly, and is not useful just to poison everything in sight to keep them from healing over the course of a long battle.

'''Bone Spells'''<br>
Bone spells ([[Teeth]], [[Bone Spear]], [[Bone Spirit]]) deal magical damage. There is no way for a player to raise resistance against magic, making these deceptively effective in [[PVP ]] combat. Items that absorb magical damage do work against magical damage.
