Preparation, effect duration and cooldown are separate timers. The cooldown starts when preparation completes successfully. You can move during shared recovery, but cannot prepare another spell.

Target and range

Self, then your normal melee target.

What does it do?

You cannot cast or mount in this form. Your first successful melee hit deals normal weapon damage, pushes the target back 2 tiles and ends the form. Missing does not consume the form.

Spirit Speak 0 → 100

The time available to land the hit is 4 → 8 seconds at 0 → 100 Spirit Speak.

Counterplay

The form can expire before a hit. Walls, doors, height differences and spell barriers limit the push.

Limits

The spell adds no damage, stun or paralysis. The push follows valid tiles only; blocked targets take no extra damage. Creatures marked as bosses or immovable cannot be pushed. This forced movement does not trigger Strangle damage. The form cannot coexist with another Necromancy form.

Things to consider

• Enter the form on foot; no other Necromancy form can be active.
