Necromancers, Liches and Vampires may take their spells from the Necromantic deck and the Dark Magic deck. They must always take at least one Necromantic spell - so Necromancers and Vampire Counts, who are only entitled to one spell card, must take a Necromantic spell.

Unlike most other types of wizards, Liches' and Vampires' magic levels are not equal to the number of spell cards or magic items they may have.
