[edit] Usage
Bone Armor is a useful defensive skill early in the game, but will quickly become obsolete at many Necromancers will attack from a distance rather than in close quarters. The only exception are with Necromancers who specialize in close combat.
Bone Armor can be extremely helpful in absorbing Physical Damage, preventing attacks from reaching your Life. If you have points to spare, spend some on Bone Armor. If monsters hit you, and Mana is not a problem, recast your Bone Armor so it will be at maximum again.
It should be noted that adding points into Bone Armor will increase the armor's health by 10 for each level, while adding core points into the synergies Bone Wall and Bone Prison increases the armor by 15. Many users who wish to invest in Bone Armor would only add one point into Bone Armor since it is much more beneficial and practical to add to the synergies instead. Additionally, adding to Bone Prison or Bone Wall would also increase Teeth, Bone Spear, and Bone Spirit damage, while adding to Bone Armor alone would only increase the life of Bone Walls and Prisons, and the mana cost to cast the armor.
[edit] History
This spell summons a barrier created from the bones of fallen warriors. The armor revolves around the Necromancer, protecting him against all attacks. Although enchanted, the armor does take damage and will eventually crumble.
