"Dark Orb" by venjix5 In places with high concentration of necromantic magic, sometimes the magic will coagulate and form a "living" entity, armed with the intelligence of a jellyfish, these balls of energy live by slowly floating towards energy and trying to absorb it. Short-Lived. Most natural necromantic spheres die after not being able to find enough energy to sustain themselves, where they shortly shrink until they are no more. In rare cases, one gets enough energy that its outer shell of necromantic magic cannot hold it anymore, resulting in a small magical explosion. Obedience without Will. These orbs, because of their simple composition, are also created by apprentices of necromancy as minions, and by masters, as homing bombs of magic, these orbs have no say in what is happening to them, not having the capacity to understand their base will is being overwritten, they follow the commands given to them by necromancer to the letter. Undead Nature. A necromantic sphere doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
