So far I've worked on scripting for new elemental spells (including air/wind) and a "holy" magic system.

I know there a lot of people out there that like to play evil characters, and I've had requests to work on a magic system geared exclusively toward the dark side.

Please drop in ideas , existing or not, of spells you would like to see in a consolidated pack. I plan to work on the mod anyway, but would like some feedback first.

Also let me know if you would like to work on this with me. I can always use help with particles and animation.

This sounds very intriguing.
What about an actual necro spell to control to dead - A bunch of dead/undead rise up from the ground under your command.
IDK if you would classify Death Note into this but maybe actually being able to control someone before they die just like in Death Note. Have you ever seen Death Note?

I've never seen "Death Note", but I'm willing to get creative on this. I've already thought about a chance 'soul stealer' spell on undead that lets you claim and summon them (literally build an army).

yea this sounds really cool and make sure u can give them commands like follow,wander,stay,and nevermind commands wow that would be awsome id so download the mod if its made

a Fake death spell, bone wall/spear/cage, spectral spirit (like in d2 ), Aura of decay (-2% of current hp every second), ZOMBIE WALL (lol), black sleep, (Like paralize, hitting wakes up though, the waking hit does more dmg), Zombie Mastery Aura (all killed NPC's join you as zombies), soul syphon (a soultrap-like spell that slowly deals dmg and slowly fills up a special, very large soulgem you couldn't charge with only a single soul).

And a greater power spell that let's you pull out a living persons skeleton joking.

Feign Death spell completed...you 'kill' yourself in a fiery ritual suicide for 15 seconds while gaining a small amount of health.

Blast of Dagon: summon a series of fireballs to orbit a ward (staff standing on the ground, sort of like a deployable totem pole), if any enemy comes to close to the ard, they all explode, dealing damage to anyone caught in the blast (and this will be a BIG blast, with demoralization and paralisis powers)

May us call that "reanimate". However may I suggest it to work rather on the corpses of recently killed; you have to kill an entity to control it. However there could be no other limitation but the amount of magica.

Then there's also the strangle that would paralyze and damage for about 1 second (of course the victim would spit blood and all).

I like the idea of "pulling the skeleton" out of a dead person and have it equiped with their gear (maybe not armor), and fight for you. That'll teach those Paladins!!!

Army Of Darkness - summon multiple skeletons instead of just one.
Hidden Agenda - zombies that explode when hit.
Rain of Terror - skeleton parts rain down on target, doing damage.
Hemorage - internal wound that damages target over 1 minute.
Back in Bowl - mind swap NPC for Zombie. Zombie fights against you, NPC fights for you.
Leprosy - target loses body part.
Cannibalism - Zombies "feed" on target, leaving skeleton.

Wow, not bad for 2 minutes thought...

I wonder if the problem here would be the armor models (that are designed for fleshed creatures), and the result of the pulling.

I like the ideas, however I wonder if multiple summonings are "balanced" in the game (should your woes also be granted with this gift).

I think that the cannibalism could be maybe more cool if the zombies feeding at the enemy, would turn the enemy to zombie (creating another similar zombie, and therefore quite a chain reaction)

Somehow, also, the Hidden Agenda brings this idea of booby traps in mind... maybe some twisted Necromancer would get bored of explosive zombies, and create spell that gives such abominations bit of a looks .

Well just a flow of my mind, nothing more .
