Wells are special Necromantic spells that utilize the energy of corpses. In order to conjure a well you must have a nearby corpse. Using a corpse to conjure a well will "exploit" that corpse so that it may not be used to conjure additional wells or summon minions. A well will always affect the area around the corpse that was used to conjure it, creating a glowing circle of energy to indicate its area of effect.

— Selah, Expert Necromancer

Skill Type. A Well spell is a type of spell that exploits a corpse to cause an effect in the area around that corpse; when active, wells show a visible green ring around that corpse.

Characteristics

The appearance of most wells.

• Unique to the Necromancer profession.
• Always exploits a corpse; the Area of Effect is in the area of the corpse.
• Always have an effect while active; some also have an end effect.
• Affects either allies or foes, never both.
• Like all spells, they
  • Require energy.
  • Have both an activation and recharge time.
  • Suffer a 0.75¾ second aftercast delay.

Notes

• Degeneration from a well spell does not cause aggro and wells do not cause monsters to flee.
• The Bloodstained armor bonus affects well spells as they are all corpse exploitation.
• Well spells can be offensive, such as Well of Suffering, or defensive, such as Well of Blood.
• Overlapping wells of the same type do not stack.

Trivia

• Most wells' symbol (marking the center of its area of effect) is a six-pointed star, similar to a Star of David.
