Description:	The Vivisection spell is one of the most deadly in the Necromancer's arsenal. The ability to flay a target with none the wiser of who cast the spell, and even to remain in hiding after a cast, is something no other magicians have ever been able to master.
Effect:	Puncture damage, Slice damage, Single-target TM. Magical snipe attack.
Example Messaging:	2nd person: You get a startling sensation, as some sixth sense barely warns you of an assault by <Necromancer>! You jerk involuntarily you feel a light slash wound open up on your chest. 1st person: You flicker your maelvolent desires towards <name>, summoning invisible blades to strike at him with the merest thought.
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Notes

Does not cause Social Outrage.
Always displays the name of the attacker to the victim.
Vivisection now uses the same calculations as snipe, with Thanatology replacing Backstab/ Scouting in the calculations. In addition, the spell is treated as the equivalent of a Hunter's Bow.
Casts will train Stealth as well as TM.
