Also known as Necrophagy. By eating the brain of a vanquished enemy, the necromancer is able to gain a single fact known by the deceased, or to use one of their skills. Single facts are retained indefinitely; skills consumed will be forgotten after 10 minutes per the caster's character level. It is generally not possible to write down everything about a skill in the allotted time. The Game Master may allow alchemical formulae or simple spells to be passed along in this manner, but complex skills can never be so rapidly recorded. Think otherwise? Try this simple test: write down every English word you know, all of the multitude of definitions, every spelling and grammatical rule, and all of the exceptions to these rules. You have ten minutes: ready, go.
