Overview

A man wrapped in darkness, claiming to have seen and even become equal to the gods.

The Dark Priest is a powerful back-rank hero that uses black magic to destroy any enemy. His skills are powerful but increase his stress, forcing you to manage it to keep using him effectively. He also has the ability to command the undead using Necromancy, a reimagining of the summon mechanic old mods use, now without the softlocking!

Necromancy Explaination:
Necromancy is a skill that has 0-12 Charges and has 2 modes: Regular and Necromancer. Starting out, it has 0 Charges. Using Necromancy on a corpse will give you an additional charge. After using Necromancy (either hitting or missing), you will enter the mode Necromancer, where you can attack using a "summon" and then continue your turn.

Charges are not consumed after attacking or between battles; they just indicate what level your summon is at. The higher the level, the stronger it is.
