Grave Knight

You can summon one to two powerful Grave Knights (depending on your level) to do your bidding. Grave Knights come well equipped with several attack powers and can be empowered with even more. You may only have two Grave Knights under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon more Grave Knights, you can only replace the ones you have lost in battle. If you already have two, the power will fail.

Recharge:       Very Long
Minimum Level:  12 (Mastermind)

Effects:        Summon Grave Knight

Lich

Summons a dark and powerful Lich. The Lich is an undead entity that, when alive, possessed many dark powers of his own. Perhaps it was a dark wizard, or powerful archvillain. Perhaps it was even a Necromancer. Now it only hungers for the souls of the living, and is quite good at feeding itself. The Lich specializes in dark control and draining powers. You may only have one Lich under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon another Lich, the power will fail.

Recharge:       Very Long
Minimum Level:  26 (Mastermind)

Effects:        Summon Lich

Life Drain

You can tap the power of the Netherworld to steal some life from a target foe and reduce his accuracy. Some of that stolen life is transferred to you in the form of hit points.

Damage:         Moderate
Recharge:       Slow
Minimum Level:  8 (Mastermind)

Effects:        Ranged
                Moderate Damage (Negative)
                Target -Accuracy
                Self +Hit Points

Soul Extraction

You can extract the soul from one of your defeated undead henchmen and summon its spectral essence to do your bidding. The power of the soul is dependent upon the type of undead henchman you extract it from; however, it will always be one level lower than you. Unlike your other henchmen, the extracted soul is only loosely bound to your control and will eventually move on to the next world. The soul cannot gain new powers with Enchant Undead or Dark Empowerment.

Recharge:       Very Long
Minimum Level:  18 (Mastermind)

Effects:        Summon Ghost (Special)

Zombie Horde

Summons one to three Zombies (depending on your level) to do your bidding. Zombies are very tough but can be slow and stupid. They start out with only rudimentary melee attacks, but can be empowered with range and even life draining powers. You may only have three Zombies under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon more Zombies, you can only replace the ones you have lost in battle. If you already have three, the power will fail.

Recharge:       Very Long
Minimum Level:  1 (Mastermind)

Effects:        Summon Zombies
