The dead have always been respected, their power and deeds are praised. Let's remind everyone why they were so famous!

— Embalmer release notes

Temp icon (yellow).pngAny tango icon 20px.png Embalmer is an elite specialization for the necromancer that focuses on summoning spirits from the dead to attack enemies and protect allies. It also allows the necromancer to wield pistols.

Backstory[edit]

Canthan have drawn power from the ashes of the dead since the dawn of time. Necromancers are well-versed in the arts of reanimating bodies, and with their Canthan training they are now able to summon spirits using ashes from their former bodies.

The spirits gladly help thaumaturges, as the latter sooth their pain by acting like a medium between them and the world they once walked on.

Trivia[edit]

  • Summoned spirits function a bit like engineer's turrets.
