The caster kneels over a corpse or skeleton and begins to slowly cut it apart.

The caster learns a part of the dead person's knowledge with each piece he cuts. At the end of the ritual he has an impression of all the memories of the dead person. The process is an ordeal in the realm of the dead for the soul of the dead. The necrologist receives +magic level in the attribute corresponding to the highest of the dead for power hours.
