The Necronomicon is the primary spellcasting book for Necromancers. It requires a minimum of 60.1 skill in Forensic Evaluation, Spirit Speak, and Magery to use. It can be obtained via Gravedigging. When the Necronomicon is first discovered, it is empty, and must be filled by dragging Heart of Earth Shards onto the book, which can be obtained from undead creatures.
Grave Dust is a reagant used in every Necromancy spell. Grave Dust can only be obtained from Gravedigging or by killing undead creatures. At 80.1 Forensic Evaluation, Spirit Speak, and Magery the Curse spells become more potent.
