-The proposed central skill for [[Necromancer|Necromancers]].  Unreleased at present.
-'''Scarification''' is a guild-specific Magic skill, which they will learn at a secondary rate.  It will not be a primary rate skill for Necromancers.

-''Why?''<br />
-Part of it is consistency. Even though [[Astrology skill|Astrology]] is important to the identity of a [[Moon Mage]], they are magicians first and foremost. The bread and butter of the Moon Mage lifestyle is being a magic user, everything else takes a back seat to that.
-Scarification is important to the identity of Necromancers, but in modern times their first and foremost concern is to ''survive''. The Great Work / your own private undead army / redemption isn't going to matter much if they strip your soul naked and hang you first.
-Part of it is lore-based. Astrology and Scarification both represent manipulation of forces that even their practitioners do not fully understand. If there is such thing as a Astrology Prime Moon Mage, he is a seer without modern peer, perhaps like [[Jares|Jares Braun]] and Master G'nar Peth of old. If there is a Scarification Prime Necromancer, the dread lich is well and truly buried in history.
