Usage

Bone Spear is one of the two primary ranged attack skills generally used by Necromancers (the other skill being Bone Spirit). It costs half the mana as Bone Spirit, but deals less damage per hit. It also does not home on targets but it pierces enemies, allowing one cast to hit multiple enemies. This skill can be very damaging, and shines most when attacking monsters that are grouped up together, damaging multiple monsters for a fairly low amount of Mana.
