With the Necromancy spell Death Speak it is possible to listen to the wisdom of Necromancers who have passed on.
Spell Description[edit]
As a part of the way of being a necromancer, the initiates have to go on a voyage through the catacombs of Pagan to commune with the Ancient Necromancers. These long dead members of the order have been specially prepared by Lithos’ magic for conveying their knowledge even after their passing. Once such a Necromancer is found, casting Death Speak allows the initiate to speak with him and learn of new spells as well as of the dangers ahead.
Lore[edit]
“ | This ritual briefly returns a semblance of life to a deceased body and allows the Necromancer to converse with the spirit of the once living. However, if the being has not undergone certain preparations before death, this spell is quite a painful experience, usually rendering the subject incoherent. – from The Chronicle of Pagan (Ultima VIII)

“ | The second spell that student must learn is Death Speak. This must be, for the student must first learn from the long dead Necromancers of old. From their dead lips shall come words of knowledge and power. So that the student may speak to his dead tutors, the student must know Death Speak. The reagents needed for Death Speak are but Blood and Bone. Use these reagents together with the words Kal Wis Corp and the student shall then be able to learn from the Ancient Necromancers. – from Earthen Magic (Ultima VIII)

Trivia[edit]
- Thanks to a bug, the spell is not needed from the fourth Ancient Necromancer onward. Even worse, since a flag was wrongly set, the Avatar can even ignore them entirely, if the player learns the spells from an out-game source.
