Mask of Death is a Necromancy spell to avoid conflict with the undead.

Spell Description[edit]

The spell Mask of Death can be used to temporarily make the caster appear dead. This will cause any undead in the vicinity to ignore the Necromancer, and thus avoid the need to injure or kill their Titan’s servants.

Lore[edit]

By this ritual, the Necromancer may assume a state of near-death that will appear as actual death. The Necromancer is completely cognizant, and can dispel the effects at any time.
The first spell that you will learn was written by my hand many generations ago. It is called Mask of Death. When you cast this spell upon yourself, your enemies shall think that you are dead. To cast this spell, you will need Wood and Executioner's Hood. Speak the words Quas Corp, and you appear to all who behold you as dead.
