"Spirit magic concentrates on spells involving life and death. Included are spells to raise the dead, spells that affect the Undead, and spells that influence aging. Expert and master ranking permit access to greater versions of spirit spells."
Spirit Magic is a skill in Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven that allows the character to learn and cast spirit magic spells. Skill mastery affects what spells are available, and the effects of those spells. Paladins start with the skill, and clerics and druids can learn it.
Spells[]
To learn master spirit magic, characters must become high priests by completing the Find and replace the Sacred Chalice quest for Anthony Stone.
