A dream of necromancy

[lashtal]

I'm pretty sure Necromancers from all the lands will remember this day as a milestone, the foundation of a new era.

Today, a first couple of headless skeletons were raised from the bones of the fallen. 

I can't help but wonder what the future may bring: with the use of item combiners, totems and cauldrons, the possibilities are endless...

 

Headless Skeleton + Skull: Skeleton 

Skeleton + Skin (maybe Fat too? discuss pro- and cons-): Zombie

then what, Zombie + Bandages + ... Wax?: Mummy!

 

Now, a Mummy could be "usable", once in a looong time, the effect being a powerful curse on all the players in the same scene  (and their families as well! ). Imagine it guarding a scene, a clickable, a treasure.

 

I know I'm going wild, I'm daydreaming. Please feel free to share your thoughts and your dreams as well.

Nothing more inspiring than a Daydreamer. Just don't stop!

One thing I have been thinking about is creating a body from scratch and then bind the soul of a deceased to it in... What could be seen as a form of resurrection.

[DARK DEMON]

Perhaps lead to a creature creation as well.

I don't understand what a skeleton/zombie would mean as a creature. Would it be a sort of flesh-stripping entity, taking away the disguises of its foes?  What would this look like in combat?

e: or maybe it's like the angien/unholy priest, losing a bit of itself with each strike but corrupting the target?  (Bones stick in the target, weakening its...I don't know what)

Creature creation via item combiners is indeed something i am aiming for.

 

In addition, without making any promises..on the long run, CUSTOM creature creation might become a reality too

All technical aspects and concepts allow such a featureeven right now..but shhh..many more other things to do before this node will be crossed

 

Os. I am seeing md evolution in terms of intersecting oathways that build nodes, nodes become announced features. For those accusing me of lack of plans in md development, here is your explenation...not something many can grasp. Retrocausality ... Nodes in the future cause their pathways/roots in the past. In short words, md evolving as a live organism.

Zombies could be loaded with simple commands... "Whenever (person) enters the scene, cast this spell or say this thing." They could be used during quests. They could be used as defenses for larger scale battles and wars... Perhaps, even... Skeletons can be assigned a very simple task, while Zombies might be allowed to be assigned multiple tasks. Though they could be easily destroyed. You could even ask them to attack other players, and they would have their own creatures, of sorts... Nothing too fancy, but if you wanted to modify their rituals you'd have to load them with your own creatures. Yet if they are defeated, those creatures become Fenths... You might even be able to possess the most complex of undead creations, moving them and controlling them from afar.

 

Also, Skeletons should require sticky goop and resin to be combined into a sort of material for the limbs.
