All Death Spells in Wizard101: Necromancer Guide - Walkthrough Wizard (1)

What Is Dead May Never Die

Do you like the idea of stealing health from your enemy to stay alive while they die, and learning spells that can poison an enemy or weaken their attacks? If so, you might want to try a Death Wizard inWizard101.

Death Wizards, or Necromancers, can play many roles on a team, whether as a tanky attacker with their life drain spells or as a support, providing powerful buffs such as Dark Pact and Feint. They also can keep the team alive by weakening enemies with spells like Virulent Plague and Bad Juju or by healing friends with Sacrifice. This versatility makes the Death Wizard one of the most valuable wizards to have on your roster.

As a Death student, your teacher situation at the beginning of the game is a little unusual, since Malistaire threw your classroom off a cliff. You’ll start out with Malorn Ashthorn, an older student filling in, as your teacher. Later you’ll find Dworgyn, Malistaire’s former assistant, to take over. You’ll also find various trainers in the worlds to teach you one-off spells, and once you get to the Arcanum, you’ll meet Qismah Shasa, a Death scholar from Mirage who gives you some advanced lessons.

The Death School colors are the black of a dark night sky and the white of bone, and the official gemstone is the onyx. The cold energy of Death Magic draws on the power of both Ice and Storm, and Death represents spirit in the spiritual school triangle (myth is mind, and life is body).

In lore, Necromancers use their magic to channel their courage and use their own fears to attack their opponents. Some are prejudiced against Death Wizards, but it’s not the magic that makes you good or evil—it’s how you use it.

“Timor mortis conturbat me.” (“The fear of death confounds me.”)
