By partaking of this Essence, you gain access to several abilities!
*A nifty set of spiky red armor, fully capable of fighting on its own!
*A semi-sentient sword, utterly loyal to you and sharp enough to cut death.
*The ability to channel the energies of the Plane of Darkness into attacks and energy-based attacks.
*You become a master necromancer, barely requiring a thought to turn the dead into your minions.
*May optionally become undead, enhancing your already impressive durability to ridiculous levels. Somebody will have to rip your soul out of your chest to kill you.
*You are strong enough to one-shot an undead creature that purposefully hunted down and killed an entire order of elite paladins, and then turned them into its undead minions.
