Bonuses[]
The efficiency of Death Magic spells can further be boosted through having:
- an infernal effigy grail structure built in a Necropolis town
- right arm artifact Staff of Death equipped
- cloak artifact cloak of darkness equipped
- sorcery skill (only for damaging spells)
On the other hand, the Death Magic spells are inefficient when targeting enemy creatures with Death ward ability; either the units can resist such spells (curses category) or they take less damage (damaging spells category).
