Necropolis versus Academy.

I also maintain that I am right. That is, I don't see the point in leveling up this perk if you're not aiming for a "Supreme Archmage" build. So, it's useless. Even if it gave a 50% bonus... But its roots go back to version 1.0, where it was much more useful. They probably just forgot or didn't bother to change it... :(

It seems that some misunderstanding is brewing again... Lordesat is right that the "Lord of the Dead" skill does not provide a flow of dark energy. However, claiming that this skill is useless based solely on this fact is incorrect - because, in addition to increasing the "Knowledge" parameter by +1, the skill also enhances "Necromancy" by 5% - which is quite noticeable in the early stages of the game. And if it enhanced it by 50%, it would become almost a cheat.
