Abilities

Necromancy

Medivh's core transcendent power is Necromancy, which he practices daily to smelt and resurrect skeletons of various grades.

• Uses:

  • Resurrection of Skeletons: Medivh can resurrect skeletons from bone components, with grades ranging from Grey Bone (lowest) to Red Bone (highest). He commonly resurrects Grey, White, Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow, and Red Bone skeletons 151 126 228. The quality of the skeleton depends on the weakest component (the "barrel effect") 53.
  • Specialized Skeleton Types: He creates humanoid skeletons (warriors, assassins, mages), Magic Beast skeletons (e.g., Metal-Eating Dragons, Bone Griffins), and even hybrid fusion skeletons like a centaur skeleton warrior built from nine bone parts 102 186 274.
  • Bone Spirit Substitutes: He employs Bone Spirit Substitutes (e.g., Extreme Blue grade) to automate the production of low-grade skeletons (Grey, White, Green) on an assembly line, while he personally handles higher-grade ones 151 186.
  • Mental Energy Activation: Resurrecting a new skeleton type generates a special "Spring of Time" feedback that activates his mental energy, allowing him to break through bottlenecks and strengthen his mental power 86 101 274.
  • Skeleton Mage Corps: He prioritizes resurrecting Skeleton Mages, using bones from mage apprentices to create formal mages posthumously. His corps numbers over four thousand, mostly Green Bone Skeleton Mages 126.
  • Dragon Bone Resurrection: He can negotiate with lingering dragon spirits to obtain materials, such as twenty-six Black Bone Dragon remains, which become Fifth-Rank bone spirits that absorb elemental energy for secondary growth 340.
  • Fifth-Rank Skeletons: Using Blue Dragon blood as nourishment, he cultivates Fifth-Rank skeletons like the Low-Grade Red Bone Thunder Mage 205. As of his current rank, he can resurrect up to High-Grade Red Bone Common Skeletons (Fourth Rank high-level Bone Spirits) 228.

• Limitations:

  • Grade Limits: His ability to resurrect skeletons is tied to his mage rank. At Tier 3 Mid-Grade, he can smelt Top-Grade Yellow Bone and resurrect High-Grade Yellow Bone Common Skeletons and Mid-Grade Yellow Bone Transcendental Skeletons 145. At his current rank, he cannot resurrect higher than High-Grade Red Bone Common Skeletons 228.
  • Barrel Effect: If any component is of lower quality, the entire skeleton is downgraded to that grade, making mixed-grade assembly wasteful 53 102.
  • Mental Energy and Mana Consumption: Resurrecting higher-grade skeletons strains his mental energy and mana. He must meditate to recover between resurrections, and exceeding his limits causes mental fatigue 139 53.
  • Resurrection Bottlenecks: To advance his mental energy, he must design and resurrect new skeleton types, which he reserves for major breakthroughs 86.
  • Magic Beast Difficulty: Resurrecting non-humanoid skeletons (e.g., Magic Beasts) is more strenuous than humanoid ones, even at the same grade 101.

Half-Dragon Body

After fusing with source dragon blood and transforming with the help of the Lava Dragon Oriana, Medivh attained a Half-Dragon Body, significantly enhancing his physique and soul.

• Uses:

  • Elemental Affinity: Gained affinity for fire and earth elements, allowing him to learn and cast fire and earth spells 151 150.
  • Dragon Vein Spells: Inherited a series of Dragon Vein Spells from the transformation, which he can study and use 150.
  • Physique Enhancement: His body and soul were greatly strengthened, making him resilient in close-quarters combat. The Half-Dragon Body can also be passed down to descendants 150.
  • Dragon Blood Absorption: During battle, he can absorb dragon blood spilled on his Bone Armor, which is refined and transformed through his bone structure to strengthen his flesh 147.

• Limitations:

  • No explicit limitations are mentioned in the provided context, but the transformation required the assistance of a Lava Dragon and involved risk during the fusion 150.

Bone Spirit Mastery (Extreme Blue Bone Body and Giant Six-Armed Skeleton)

Medivh has mastered the Bone Spirit transcendent heritage, controlling his own bone structure and creating a powerful fusion construct.

• Uses:

  • Extreme Blue Bone Body: After achieving the Half-Dragon Body, he perfectly mastered his Extreme Blue Bone Body, able to dispel his Skeleton Golem and reclaim Bone Spirit Power without losing control or suffering bone spikes piercing his flesh 150.
  • Giant Six-Armed Skeleton: He fused the three transcendent heritages (Necromancer, Earth Knight, Bone Spirit) to create a giant six-armed skeleton that is his main combat form. It wields a sword, shield, bone staff, and bow, and can cast bone-type spells while fighting in melee. The skeleton is covered in bone spikes for passive damage 147 146.
  • Holy Light Healing: Due to absorbing Holy Light imprints from old bones, his Bone Armor and the giant skeleton possess self-healing abilities, emitting a soft white light. This prevents him from becoming a Bone Lich even if he loses control, and it protects him as a "Holy Light Skeleton" 146 147.
  • Dragon Blood Strengthening: In battle, the giant skeleton absorbs dragon blood through its bone meridians, which is then processed to strengthen Medivh’s own physique in real time 147.

• Limitations:

  • Fusion Restrictions: He cannot fuse transcendent bone parts from different racial systems due to exclusion; unlocking fusion of multiple heritages requires raising his Necromancer rank 186.
  • No Qualitative Improvement: Fusion skeletons offer no significant advantage over regular skeletons, so he prioritizes conventional resurrection for efficiency 186.

Mental Energy Activation Method

Medivh uses a specific technique to rapidly grow his mental energy by resurrecting new skeleton types.

• Uses:

  • He reserves new skeleton types (e.g., Tiger-Cat Warrior, Magic Beast skeleton) for use when advancing a minor or major stage. The resurrection triggers a "Spring of Time" feedback that activates his mental energy, allowing him to break through bottlenecks 86 101.
  • This method has been used repeatedly: resurrecting Sky Blue Spirit Rabbit Warriors and Warlocks to activate mental energy, then using the activated state to resurrect Transcendental Cobalt Blue and Common Deep Blue skeletons 53.

• Limitations:

  • The mental activation is temporary; he must use it immediately to resurrect higher-grade skeletons or to break through. He cannot rely on this without a steady supply of new bone types 86.
  • Creating new skeleton types requires preserving bone component sets, which takes up storage space 86.

Major Events

• Construction of Armory Camp (Kurd City's first district): Medivh begins building a fortified city, using skeletons for labor. The initial walls of Armory Camp are completed, creating a connected fortress with underground corridors and self-sufficient districts. This marks the foundation of what will become Kurd City 15 21.

• Night Raid on the Minotaur Tribe: Medivh leads a night raid on a nearby Minotaur Tribe, using Skeleton Assassins to provoke a second-order Magic Beast against the Minotaurs. His skeletons slaughter most of the tribe, and he excavates their ancestral burial ground for bones, acquiring a large supply of skeleton materials 23.

• Rainy Season and Construction of Black Furnace Fortress: As the rainy season arrives, Medivh expands Kurd City's army and begins planning a secret second stronghold, Black Furnace Fortress, in the Winter Mountains. He also reduces Kurd City's visibility to avoid attention during the season of Murloc attacks 57.

• Joint Attack on Kurd City Repelled: Four enemy factions—a mercenary group, drifters, thugs, and Lizardmen—unite to attack Kurd City. Medivh's skeleton legion, including newly raised Green Bone Skeletons and Spirit Cat archers, defeats them all in succession, demonstrating the city's formidable defenses 62 63.

• Building the Third and Fourth Ring Districts: Medivh expands Kurd City's walls outward, completing the Second Ring District's wall and beginning construction on the Third and Fourth Ring Districts. The Gewalt Federation lifts restrictions on the city's limits, allowing Medivh to expand further 73.

• Medivh Drives Away Agansa and Fortifies Kurd: After Agansa and Amanda visit Kurd City, Medivh learns of Agansa's noble background and drives them away. He then focuses on fortifying Kurd's foundations, building farmland and stockpiling materials, while continuing to resurrect skeletons to increase the city's combat strength 87 88.

• Great Expansion Begins: The Orc, Bear-man, and Gewalt Federation empires enter a period of large-scale conflict. Medivh supports other Pioneers with weapons, armor, and military castles, helping establish a defensive line along the Wan River. Kurd City's population grows by a million new residents 110.

• Orc Assassin Squads Foiled: Orc Assassin Squads attempt to infiltrate Kurd City multiple times, but fail due to the city's strong defenses, including walls, Arrow Towers, and skeleton guards. No core figures are killed 125.

• Elemental Storm and Retreat from North Bank of Tu River: Facing an Orc advance on the North Bank of Tu River, Medivh retreats his forces and triggers a self-destructing Chaotic Elemental Storm, wiping out the Orc army and destroying parts of the city. The Federation Envoys are impressed by his ruthlessness and order support for the front lines 129.

• Construction of Storm City: After the Great Expansion ends and a truce is declared among the Three Great Empires, Medivh names his scorched North Bank territory "Storm City." The area covers 100 km east-to-west and 200 km north-to-south, with 70% consisting of an Elemental Contamination Zone. He begins constructing Magic Rune Walls to enclose the contamination 133.

• Resurrection of Progenitor Skeletons and Tribe Loyalty: Medivh resurrects Progenitor Skeletons of the Spirit Fox and Spirit Rabbit tribes, placing them in Inheritance Towers to perfect their inheritances. The tribes become even more loyal to him 133.

• Hilda Leaves for Hobarton Manor: Hilda, Earl Hobarton's daughter, leaves Kurd City to assume her duties as successor to the title of Earl Hobarton, leaving her daughter Jaina in Audrey's care. Medivh equips Hilda with the Sky Bow Battalion for protection. The Second Elder of the Hobarton Family remains in Kurd City to protect Medivh 133.

• Secret Plane Portal Between Storm City and Sunset City: Medivh opens a Plane Portal connecting Storm City and Sunset City, using a Chaotic Elemental Storm as cover. When werewolves attack Sunset City, he triggers another storm, killing many powerhouses. The Dark Tower's Tower Spirits use the storm's energy to fire Castle Cannons, repelling the enemies 220.

• Crimson City Faces Beast Tide: In the Gamma Plane, Medivh's Skeleton Legion builds Crimson City in the Crimson Desert. Despite his efforts to protect local flora and fauna, more than a dozen Sand Beast Lords unite and launch a beast tide against the city 194.

• Kurd City and Spore Jungle Overlord Conflict: Medivh delays constructing the Wrynn Dark Tower to avoid attracting the Spore Jungle Overlord. The Overlord becomes active, surrounds the Skeleton Legion's city with Mycelium Constructs, and neutralizes it. Medivh attempts to trigger a Chaotic Elemental Storm but fails. He surrenders and waits for rescue or his own promotion to Eighth Rank 303.
