Amethyst Wizards (WAR Lore)  

Warhammer Online Wikibase™ Lore

Amethyst Wizards, or the Brethren of Shyish, study the Lore of Death. Contrary to what many people believe, Amethyst Wizards are not Necromancers and have no spells that raise the Undead, nor would they want them. The Order of Shyish embrace the certainty of death and all other endings, while Necromancers strive to prevent their own ends at all costs.

The magic of Shyish is the magic of time and the soul, of driving away or destroying the Undead, of causing a person or item to wither and age a decade in seconds, of draining a person of his vitality to empower the casting wizard, of communing with the recently dead, and of ripping a person's soul from his body to leave behind a decaying corpse.

Spells from the Lore of Death are, as one might expect, mostly destructive; the remaining spells deal with psychology. The spell Drain Life is very dangerous, as it hits every enemy unit within a certain range.
