Death Magic is magic that involves the manipulation of the death element, and all of the aspects that come with or from death. Death Magic is categorized into the following: Necromancy and Seniumancy.

• Necromancy is the control and manipultion of death, the ending of energy and life. It is offensive magic and a form of summoning magic where the summoning is the raising of the dead. It's affinity is death.
• Seniumancy is the control of decay and the process of dying and rotting. Seniumancy is mainly about status effects such as poisons and the like. It's affinity is decay.

Minor elemental manipulation usually involves effecting decay and stages of death and rot.

Death Affinities

Those born under the element of death will have a stronger affinity to one of two aspects of death. Those aspects are death and decay.

Death is the most iconic and well known aspect of death magic and as the aspect of necromancy. It is the very aspect of death itself, of ending life and energy and controlling of the dead and undead. Death governs death magic's power of summoning and ending life. Through death, one might inspire fear or extinguish light. These are your necromancers. Those with the death affinity are quiet, mysterious, and great observers of the very process of life and death.

Decay is the aspect of the processes that happen to living things when they die. It is perhaps the darkest aspect in all of magic. It is the essence of rotting and entropy that black nights call upon. Through the aspect of decay one might inflict sickness or weaken things. Those with the decay affinity are themselves depressed and feeling the crushing reality of their own coming death.

Minor Elemental Manipulations

Those who are strong in their elemental affinity can make small tugs on their element, causing minor affects.

Death: You can cause small manipulations like extinguish light sources, increase fear or anxiety in a person, and so forth. The degree of control needed will determine how much runic soul you need to have. The ability to do so is an Arcana check.

Decay: You can cause small manipulations like breaking down obstacles, inflicting others with a feeling of illness, and so forth. The degree of control needed will determine how much runic soul you need to have. The ability to do so is an Arcana check.

The Two Iconic Symbols of Death Magic

In the elemental magic of Life Magic, there are two iconic symbols. They are Serenity and Pain. These symbols are said to be the very source of death magic, even though like all elemental magic in Nor'Ova, necromancy is conducted not by incantations or potions, but by manipulating the element of death to produce magical effects.

These symbols are therefore nothing more than just symbols, representatives of the two opposing forces of magic, the positive force and the negative force. Magic as a whole is neither evil or good. It is simply a neutral force. Society doesn't judge based on what magic is used, only on how it is used and for what reason. Therefore, despite whether or not certain spells may be associated with what is considered the good or the dark side of magic, the use of spells has no effect on your alignment unless it is used for a wholly good purpose, or for a whole evil purpose.

This is especially important to remember when dealing with magic that is traditionally seen as dark such as necromancy. Necromancy and even Seniumancy are both important to the processes of the world and have beneficial properties so it is entirely possible to play as a good necromancer. You could be the one that keeps communities safe from graveyards, or the one that see's off the dying. Just because other forms of literature out there paint death magic as evil doesn't mean that it is. It is all depending on the heart and mindset of its mage and the purpose for why the spell is being cast.

In the elemental magic of Death Magic, Serenity symbolizes the light aspect while Pain represents the dark aspect.

Environmental Effects on Death Magic

Due to the fact that elemental magic is elemental, the environment can play an effect on the magic you are casting. If the environment has a larger amount of your element present, your magic will be stronger. If the environment has a lesser amount of the element you are casting, your element will be weaker. If the element present in your environment is about average, then there would be no change.

In the case of death magic:

• In places where there is a lot of death element present - such as cemeteries, hospitals, swamps, and ancient crypts - death magic effects are increased by x 1.25
• In lush fields or in places with a lot of life element present, death magic effects are decreased by x 0.75.

The Soul of Death

All who live upon Nor'Ova have within them what is known as their runic soul. It is the very part of their being that connects them to their runic element. By connecting and using your runic element more and more, your runic soul grows and strengthens.

The runic soul of death is that of the terrible and frightening Lich. The various affinities have their own minor soul that they connect to.

• Death: The affinity soul of Death is the Poltergeist. They have an Arcana chance to end any ongoing status effect that they might have.
• Decay: The affinity soul of Decay is the Zombie. Critical Hits decrease the target's Soul and Power by 20% of the damage dealt.

The Death soul of the Lich can be reached when the one born under death has mastered 5 death spells. Once this happens, the person will have access to both the affinity soul and the runic soul. The runic soul awakens when its bearer is near certain death or feels in grave, mortal danger. By making an arcana check, the necromancer might then awaken his or her runic soul, and will automatically take on the characteristics of the undead with physical damages having a 25% chance of healing instead of hurting and magic being only 75% effective against the necromancer. The necromancer furthermore will be immune to any status effects and have any status effects ended and have a 50% chance of being fully healed upon transformation. Due to the immense power of this awakening, the necromancer can only call upon this power once a day.

Bitterwood Pandemic	death	8 Soul	4	1 target 1d12 spaces away	1d20 rounds	Bio Instability	Plague	This terrible spell inflicts its target with a temporary version of the terrible Bitterwood Plague. Bitterwood so got its name because its victims would find parts of themselves rotting and falling away as if the target were a decaying tree. Bitterwood causes the host body to think that it is dead by cutting off any signal that the body is alive, so it quickly enters into a state of decay.
