More context at wiki[dwarffortresswiki.org]

Is Undead - if the necromancer is immortal and undead. Otherwise is mortal.
Animate - wait periods for animate dead ability. (mindless corpses)
Raise - wait periods for raise dead ability. (intelligent undead - lieutenant - often have additional power)
Ghoul - wait periods for ghoul ability. (can spread ghoul infection)
Experimenter - if the necromancer can experiment.
Bogeyman/Nightmare - if the necromancer can summon demonic creatures. It is very rare to have ability of summoning both bogeyman and nightmare - usually (9 cases of 10) only one of them is available for a single secret.
wait periods - one random period from the list is chosen for each ability per secret. (In vanilla DF the wait period is always 10 ticks)

@Nactarune - I think they are compatible
Nactarune 31 Jul @ 2:52pm 
do you think that this mod Strange Secrets is compatible with both your mods (dead end and extended necromancy) ?
niemst  [author] 29 Jul @ 9:08pm 
@leonardodiasm - u can not have both at once, but u also do not need to. This one also changes the wait periods as the FPS Fix.
leonardodiasm 29 Jul @ 5:12pm 
How is it compatible (or not) with your Necromancy FPS Fix mod?
niemst  [author] 29 Jul @ 9:24am 
@millerdonaldson - yes - it is lua script
@Sylvanas_III - yes, an necromancer can still become an lich or arch-warlock etc
Sylvanas_III 28 Jul @ 4:37pm 
I do have one question. Since the motivation for becoming a necromancer in-game is usually out of a desire for immortality, do non-immortal necromancers have a way of becoming immortal?
Sylvanas_III 28 Jul @ 4:34pm 
This mod seems *very* interesting. Definitely trying it out so the wielders of unhallowed wizardry have some decent variety.
millerdonaldson 28 Jul @ 11:31am 
Neat! Did you make this with Lua?
niemst  [author] 27 Jul @ 2:11pm 
@The Butcher please check out Necromancy FPS Fix

Oh thank you!, I would appreciate it a lot!
