Necromancer

This bundle is marked as high quality. It exceeds standards and is highly desirable.
Necromancers are practitioners of necromancy, the study and use of necromantic magic to raise and control the dead. As the masters of this tainted field of magic, they can conjure festering diseases, harness the shadows into bolts of incendiary energy, and chill the living with the power of death. Necromancers are the enemies of life itself, and all hands are raised against them. Some of the worst evils in Azeroth's history have been perpetrated by necromancers, and they deserve their malevolent reputation. Few things are as abhorrent and horrifying as necromancy.

⚠️ Edition Notes ⚠️
Matrices Model

- Takes up less storage.
- Model has less fluidity in the mesh, which can give the impression of robotization.

-Works with all versions of the game and in SD or HD mode.
This version contains a gradient association (0, 0.1, 0.2, ..., 0.9, 1) of the vertices, so it is havier and used for maps with more cinematics.

- Takes up more storage.

-Works with version 1.32 of the game or superior, works in SD or HD mode.
