NecroGnomicon (the Dark Age Translation) - Spell Acquisition Schedule

...of the three Bloodlines which serve Arawn...

...known for Intelligence and Dexterity but...

...accompanied by Horrific Undead creatures...

...their rituals of Unspeakable Darkness...

...with Powers learned on the Battlefields...

...reflected in a Mastery of Ancient Lore...

...are Not to be trifled with.

ark Rituals are the foundation of the Necromancer's greatness. To know when and how they are procured is to know the path to prominence. To be ignorant of them is to become the plaything of a forgotten demented intelligence screaming in the unfathomed chasms of night between dying stars.

Spell Acquisition Schedule

Baseline spells are those acquired by every necromancer upon achievement of the requisite level of experience. Specialized spells are acquired only upon training in the appropriate school; as an example, 12 ranks of training in Deathsight awards the first 12 spells of Deathsight Mastery, regardless of the necromancer's experience.

Remember that the Disciple is given neither the secrets of Painworking nor the signs of any Mastery, required as they are to first demonstrate apt use of the primary conjurations.
