{{:dom6:death.png?nolink }} **Death** is a Sorcerous path of [[Magic]]. It's considered "dark magic", due to its association with darkness, destruction, and other unpalatable things; its reputation is similar to [[Blood]], which was excised in Dominions 6. | {{:dom6:death.png?nolink }} **Death** is a Sorcerous path of [[Magic]].

Death mirrors [[Nature]], which is associated with life, in many respects. The energies it pulls on often come into conflict with the light magic of [[Astral]]. It also pulls upon things from a world derivative of our own, like [[Glamour]], but these things are often more "real". | Death mirrors [[Nature]], which is associated with life, in many respects.

| {{:dom6:stats:mor.png?nolink }} A Death Mage with {{path>D3}} or higher does a better job at holding themselves together while [[age|old]], resulting in fewer age-related [[Afflictions]]. One with {{path>D4}} or higher no longer fears death, and thus has +10 [[Morale]]. |
| |
| {{:abilities:undead.png?nolink }} The [[Undead]] benefit greatly from knowing Death Magic, at least if they wish to stick around longer than the standard 500 years. Each level of skill lets them extend the spells keeping them together by another 50%, in an additive manner. |
| |
| {{:misc:gui:undeadleadership.png?nolink }} Last but not least, each level of skill in Death Magic provides 50 points of [[Undead]] Leadership. It does not provide any [[Magic Being|Magic]] Leadership; perhaps it's a matter of different energies, or maybe Magic Beings don't have the same souls as most "creatures". |
| * {{:abilities:demon.png?nolink}} This sort of Leadership also lets Death Mages command [[Demon|Demons]]. |
