The most experienced necromancers can kill an opponent with a single spell. The chance of success depends on the victim's spell defense, level differences, the mage's intelligence, the victim's constitution, the degree of skill level, and other random factors. A victim who makes the spell defense check always survives, and a failed spell defense check only leads to a second roll, which the caster's skill and intelligence raise and the victim's constitution lowers.

Bosses and legends never die from this outright (see mob ranks). Creatures immune to negative energy, such as ghosts, ghouls and demons, cannot be killed by it either. Undead and golems without that immunity are fair game.
