Acquisition[edit]

The damage is dealt by the caster, not the target, which means it can trigger skills such as Pain Inverter.
Saccers are known to use Signet of Agony, Dark Aura, and Contagion to force trigger Death Nova by sacrificing oneself to death.
Consider using this skill with Putrid Flesh on allied minions.
This enchantment is also present as an environment effect in the fourth chamber of the Dragon's Lair. Both foes and allies are enchanted; however, the effect is quite weak (equal to 0 Death Magic).

Beta icon

In alpha this skill used the same icon as it does today. The icon used during beta did not see further in-game appearances.
During early alpha, this skill functioned like a hex which dealt 20 damage to all nearby creatures when the target died, similar to Putrid Bile and Icy Veins today. It was classified as a "Necromancer Debuffing Skill" and used to cost 10 energy.
