Necromancer

## Description

*Those who accept death as inevitability take first steps on the path to being a Necromancer. This master of vile arts manipulates others' life energies at will and uses it to bolster his own power. They tend to raise hosts of undead servants and make them do their bidding, while they are busy with their dark rituals.*

## Description

Increases idle profit bonus with time spent as this class. Has access to spells and upgrades favouring idle style.

## Basic Design

Necromancer scales based on "Time Spent as Necromancer". The longer your run, the more you'll earn. He does this primarily through his character ability, which boosts his Idle bonus based on time spent this exile as Necromancer. And his profitable abilities are all either connected to his Idle bonus, like , or scale off time spent all on their own, like . Let's look at some of the things Necromancer can do on a long run to increase his strength:

* Necromancer can build up his level to improve his character ability, by autoclicking with , , and , or by collecting void entities with  and , or with , which becomes more powerful as the persistent ability from  accumulates.
* Necromancer can cast spells that improve based on times cast, such as , or , which even charges more quickly based on how long the run has been going.
* Necromancer can focus on building the persistent effect of , which increases the charge rate of non-shard spells, such as , and itself.
* Necromancer can cast  to stack  charges, because  becomes more powerful with the more charges it accumulates.
* Necromancer can use Homunculus or Simulacrum to build up sources.
* Necromancer can wait for a high level Zombie or Risen Giant.

Once Necromancer is ready to burst, he has a lot of options here too. Let's look at some of the ways his spells work together, and how they scale off the values we built up while idling:

* and  both increase his Idle bonus in a way that multiplies the effect of his Character Ability, while also earning autoclicks.
* Necromancer can increase sources profit with many spells, including ,  (which scales off the number of sources),  (which scales directly off the Idle bonus), and  (which scales off the character's level).
* Cast  or , which scale based on the number of times they were cast this exile.
* Cast , which collects production for a certain amount of time, based on how many charges amassed earlier with .

As you can see, there's a lot of connected mechanics at play in using Necromancer well, but they're all built around the theme of spending a lot of playtime accumulating power. And that's the essence of Necromancer's design.
