Affinity

Level I	Duration +10
Level II	Mana cost -5
Level III	Amount +3 mana cost

A level marked mana cost does not do what its name says: the game adds this to the spell's mana cost, not to its amount.

Affinity is a spell's own mastery level and it carries between runs. Each level is applied on top of the ones below it. How affinity is earned.

Prestige options

Taking one of these cards from a boss chest changes how the spell behaves for the rest of that run. You pick one.

When you Raise Dead, you reach between the folds of life and death. In Between summons ghosts that pass through monsters, dealing damage and inflicting a condition based on their mood.

Damage: 5
Conditions: Spooked, Stunned, Frozen, Confused

Minion Master

When you Raise Dead, you summon a lich who is proficient in spellcasting. The lich remains by your side permanently but becomes more powerful with each active minion.

So Below

You Raise Dead not from the dirt but the Below. Whenever your undead would poison a monster, they instead inflict felfire.

ExsanguinateandRaise Dead

The bind drinks your undead. Each one it drank makes the bind hit harder.

FireballandRaise Dead

Your undead catch fire. They apply Burn to enemies they touch. This does not happen if you took So Below.

catch fire: The undead moves 1.5 times as fast for 2 s at the start of a run, stretched by duration bonuses. Touching an enemy applies Burn.

Burn: Each tick deals the Burn damage multiplied by the run's Burn bonus. 2 damage every 0.2 s for 2 s. One application: 20 damage (10 ticks). A second application refreshes the timer; it does not stack.

So Below: You Raise Dead not from the dirt but the Below. Whenever your undead would poison a monster, they instead inflict felfire.

GaleandRaise Dead

The wind applies Knockback to your undead.

Knockback: The enemy is pushed away and its movement is set to zero until it lands. Bosses are never knocked back.

InkandRaise Dead

After your undead leave the pool, they drip an Ink droplet behind them.

Ink droplet: A drop of ink behind the undead every 2 s, lasting 5 s.
