Animation: A giant spirit eminates from the Necromancer and envelops the target. If the target dies due to the effect of Atrocity the Necromancer maniacal laugh will be heard throughout the battle field.
Uses: Bane of the support class, this turns skills that heal into potent nukes and also causes items like Astrolabe, Nome's Wisdom, Power Supply and even any from of to be dangerous to the enemy unit.

3.0 Skill Synergy + Hero Discussion

The Necromancer is meant to be a deadly force that causes supportive effects to be detrimental to key enemy targets. He draws roots from the DotA hero Pugna even though he is not much like him The Necromancer has the highest int gain out of all heroes in order to support the 4 active spells he has that each have a large mana cost associated to them. With his Atrocity -> Sunder -> Spirit Raze -> Soul Drain combo the Necromancer can inflict heavy, and sometimes fatal, damage to the target as well as eliminates the possibility of the the target of being saved by say an Ophelia's Gift. With Atrocity's long range a running low health hero about to get healed by that enemy Jeraziah will instead of being healed for 300, will be nuked for 600 magic damage, killing the running hero. Also before anyone states that Sunder is 'over powered' one must compare it to other similar magic armor reducing effects. Sunder is a single target spell with an extremly low duration and a decent mana cost. This is opposed to Hellbringers Life Void which reduces magic armor in a large radius for 3 times he duration of Sunder. Life Void used to be -8 magic armor but in the recent patch was made -5 magic armor. I believe -8 is a good number for Sunder. Drain life allows the Necromancer to heal allies and absorb a great amount of health from enemies combined with Sunder. All of the Necromancer skills are splashable with each other and can be used in a variety of different skill builds. You could max either one of 3 skills and still have a viable build.

The Necromancer in short is versatile Anti-Support that can heal, disable, nuke and turn the enemies supportive spells against them.
