[Reaper's Aspect] (new unique buff)
* The next time that you enter Death Shroud, your presence fears adjacent foes.
* Delay: ¾ s
* Fear: ½ s
* Radius: 180
[] Upon entering Death Shroud, a “reaper” image appears over the user's location while a “scream” noise plays simultaneously.
[] The PBAoE does not follow the Necromancer during its delay; rather the PBAoE is simply placed (along with the stationary reaper image) point blank at the Necromancer's current location upon entering Death Shroud and left to trigger 0.75 s after its instantaneous placement.
[] This unique buff cannot be stripped and does not stack in any way.

[Cursed] (new unique de-buff)
* Does nothing on its own; serves as an amplifying trigger for other skills.
* Does not stack in intensity or duration; any new instance of cursed applied to an already cursed target will simply overwrite the older instance.

Cast-time: 0; Recharge: 18 s

[] The player can gain multiple energy points from a single packet of damage.
[] Instead of being a forced channel, this skill now chains 2 times.  Each chain skill is identical to the first.  Upon activating the chain or using any skill within the chain, each subsequent skill in the chain will be available for use for up to 20 seconds respectively before the entire chain resets and goes into cool-down.  If all 3 skills are activated, this chain will enter cool-down immediately.

[Dark Pact] (3) – name changed to – [Dark Bond] (3)
Cast-time: 2¼ s; Recharge: 12 s

[] If a target struck by the intial attack moves outside of this skill's “effect range,” the pulsing cripple effect ends prematurely on that target.
[] Dodging can be used to dodge individual cripple pulses, but it will not remove the overall hex effect (unless you dodge managed to carry you to a position more than 900 range away from the necromancer).


= *AXE MAIN-HAND* =
[Wither Blade] (1)
Cast-time: 1½ s
* Charge up a spell to release a blade of necrotic energy.  You cast out more blades the longer you charge before casting.  Each blade inflicts vulnerability to cursed foes.

Upon activating the chain, the subsequent skill in the chain will be available for use for up to 20 seconds before the entire chain resets and goes into cool-down.  If both skills are activated, this chain will enter cool-down immediately.

[Unholy Feast] (3)
Cast-time: 2¼ s; Recharge: 12 s
* Conjure a gnashing maw that damages and cripples foes in a cone in front of you.  This skill's final strike removes boons from cursed foes.  You gain energy for each boon that you removed in this manner (max 3 energy).

[] Beta [Churning Earth] style skill; player can move while charging and casting.
[] The life force gain at full charge is flat and triggers so long as the player lands a successful strike with [Unholy Feast], regardless of the number of targets struck.

[Grasping Dead] (2)
Cast-time: ½ s; Recharge: 25 s
* Summon skeletal arms that attack for you.
* Grasping Dead (5): 25 s
[] This skill's recharge begins counting down the moment that its cast-time successfully resolves.
[] These arms float over the player's hit-box roughly at the location of their shoulder armor slot.  These arms do not follow with the player's animations, but remain mostly fixed into their position regardless of what pose the player may take.
[] This arms also act independently of the player, so the arms can take actions while the player cannot—even during instances such as dodging.

[Bone Hammer] (2-2)
Cast-time: 0
* Spend 1 charge.  Your bone arms strike foes in front of you.
* Damage: 340 (1.0)

[Feast of Corruption] (3)

If both skills are activated, this chain will enter cool-down immediately.


 =  *FOCUS OFF-HAND* =

* Range: 1200
[] First pulse occurs immediately on successful cast and then once every 2 seconds afterward.
[] Each pulse will grant 2% life force to the Necromancer for every target struck.
[] The life force consumption occurs after entering into death shroud, so it would be possible to enter death shroud with less than 15% life force, and then be immediately booted from the form.  This, however, would not affect the triggers of [Reaper's Mark] or [Reaper's Aspect].


= *DEATH SHROUD* =
[Dark Path] (2-1)

[] Allies at the initial target location also gain the visual “spectral” effect; spectral “trails” equivalent to the one left by [Spectral Walk] tie the affected allies back to the original user of the skill in the same manner as foes are tied to the caster of [Tainted Shackles].
[] The life force gain effect has a 1 second global cool-down which is incorporated across all affected allies.
[] If an affected ally extends further than 900 range away from the necromancer, the spectral armor effect ends prematurely and that ally gains no bonuses from any subsequent pulses of the skill.
[] First pulse occurs immediately upon activation and then one pulse per second afterward.
[] Even though this skill has no actual cast-time wind-up, being a channel skill, it cannot be activated while stunned or while using another skill.
