School of Death

For the Death School at Dragonspyre Academy, see School of Death (Dragonspyre Academy).

The School of Death, also known as the Death School, is a Necromancy school affiliated with Ravenwood School of Magical Arts. It was once located in Ravenwood, but is now in Nightside after Malistaire Drake ripped it from its former spot and threw it there.

Description[]

"Death is finality, the study of the corporeal. Practitioners of the Death Art, known as Necromancers, understand this limitation and strive to face it unafraid. Death's power comes from the removing of order from the universe at large. Withdrawing the power of order and allowing chaos to return instills Necromancers to bend magic to their will. Necromancers draw on the power of courage to channel their own fears out of themselves and at their adversaries. Death sits between Ice and Storm, for the cold energy of undeath lies between those two forces. Onyx is the gemstone of Death, while black and gray are the school's other colors."
