For centuries, the unwholesome practice of Necromancy has fostered legend and superstition. Experiments conducted in catacombs and graveyards, mortuaries and crypts have codified the paths of Necromancy and given vampires power over the corpses and spirits of the dead. Vampires who study necromantic magic must utilize human corpses, hands of murderers, portions of spirit essence, and other difficult-to-obtain items for use in such depraved and morbid spells. Needless to say, such repugnant practices can have a detrimental effect on one’s Humanity.

Necromancy has certain limitations: • Necromancy relies upon a necromancer speaking magical phrases and making specifi c gestures. Use of blood magic is easy to notice, and the methods used to activate such powers are rarely subtle. • All Necromancy paths and rituals are considered Social powers and as such, cannot be used during Celerity rounds. • Specific Necromancy powers that are resisted with your target’s Physical attribute can be repeatedly used against a target. This is an exception to the rule that prohibits a character from using a Social power on the same target immediately after failing. Powers that are resisted with the target’s Social attribute cannot be attempted repeatedly. You must wait 10 minutes before retrying such a power, as per the standard rule. Necromancy consists of multiple paths of study and expands into several individual rituals. To purchase a path of Necromancy and Necromantic rituals, a character must possess a specific merit that allows her to do so, such as the Necromantic Training merit, or a similar clan-specific merit.
