Souls Mechanic

Souls are a special resource in Remixed Dungeon related to necromancy and the Necromancer class. They replace the standard mana system for necromantic abilities.

Souls are a resource that can be collected by the Necromancer class through combat. They function as a special currency for casting necromantic spells and abilities. The souls mechanic uses the same underlying system as skill points in the game code.

• Necromancer Class: The Necromancer automatically collects 1 soul each time a creature dies while wearing the Necromancer's Robe
• Combat: Souls are gained primarily through defeating enemies
• Automatic Collection: Souls are collected automatically, no manual action required

• Spell Casting: Necromantic spells consume souls as a casting cost
• Special Abilities: Class and subclass abilities require souls to activate
• Necromancy: The Necromancy Spell and other necromantic abilities consume souls

• Soul Capacity: There is a limit on how many souls can be stored at once
• Lich Subclass: When the Necromancer becomes a Lich, soul capacity is doubled
• Resurrection: The Lich can resurrect when souls are at maximum capacity (consumes all souls)
• Strength Penalty: Becoming a Lich applies a -2 strength penalty

• Focus on combat to generate more souls for abilities
• Balance offensive and defensive soul usage
• Plan ahead for expensive necromantic abilities
• Manage soul reserves during challenging fights
• For Lich: Keep souls at maximum for potential resurrection
