Lore of Vampires Spells & Uses

Master the Lore of Vampires in Total War: Warhammer! Learn about The Curse of Undeath, Invocation of Nehek, and how to best utilize these potent spells for your Undead legions.

Alright, let's dive into the spooky world of Vampire magic in Total War: Warhammer. This lore is all about bringing your undead armies back from the brink and keeping them fighting. Think of it as your undead army's personal first aid kit, but way cooler. ### The Lore Attribute: The Curse of Undeath Every Vampire spellcaster comes with a passive ability called 'The Curse of Undeath'. It's pretty straightforward: as long as your spellcaster's leadership is above 'broken' and they're casting, any nearby Undead units get a little boost. We're talking about a +0.1% Heal Per Second for 7 seconds. It's not a massive heal, but over a long battle, it can definitely help keep those skeletons and zombies from crumbling. | ### The Curse of Undeath | | | --- | --- | | _As the powers of Dark Magic are wielded for the purpose of Necromancy, its unwholesome energies invigorate the Undead._ | | | Passive Ability Lore of Vampires | | | Type | Regeneration (Area) | | Target | Self, Allies | | Heal Per Second | +0.1% | | Effect range | Infinite | | Duration | 7 seconds | | Affected units | Affects allies in range(all) | | Affects units if | Undead
Leadership is higher than broken
Casting | ### Spells Right now, the Lore of Vampires has two main spells, and they're both variations of the same powerful resurrection and healing magic: * Invocation of Nehek * Invocation of Nehek Upgraded Let's break them down: #### Invocation of Nehek This is your bread-and-butter spell for keeping your undead forces on the field. It's a targeted spell that costs 7 Winds of Magic and has a 30-second cooldown. | ### Invocation of Nehek | | | --- | --- | | _The caster intones the dread syllables once uttered by Nagash, restoring friendly targets._ | | | Spell Lore of Vampires | | | Cost | 7 Winds | | Type | Regeneration | | Target | Self or Ally | | Heal Per Second | +0.80% | | Range | 200 metres | | Duration | 18 seconds | | Cooldown | 30 seconds | | Affected units | Affects allies in range(max: 1) | | Affects units if | Undead
Not on or below a platform
Hit point replenishment cap not reached | | Can use if | Leadership is higher than broken | This spell is fantastic for bringing back fallen soldiers mid-battle and healing up those who are still standing. Just remember, it only works on Undead units and you can only target one unit at a time. Make sure your caster isn't stuck on a platform or in a spot where they can't cast it! #### Invocation of Nehek Upgraded The upgraded version of Invocation of Nehek is, as you'd expect, even better. While the source text cuts off here, typically upgraded spells offer increased healing, a larger area of effect, or a longer duration. Keep an eye out for this one as you progress – it's a massive boost to your army's survivability. Basically, the Lore of Vampires is all about sustained fighting power for your undead. Use these spells wisely, and you'll find your armies are much harder to break!
