I like some of these concepts a lot, but tbh wouldn't support this as a partner skill 30. That's because #30 may well be the last skill we get, and I would therefore want it to be very different.

Instead of that way of introducing your ideas, perhaps Necromancy could get a skilling extension added to it a few months after initial release.

As you have mentioned elsewhere, both Magic and Summoning are useful to skillers despite being ostensibly combat orientated. I see no reason why Necro cannot be dual-purpose as well.

If I may add a further suggestion, perhaps we could have a logged-out use for our skeleton conjures too. Gathering resources on our behalf in a similar vein to Manage Thy Kingdom would not seem an unreasonable request.

I understand completely where you're coming from.

However, I've approached it in this manner for two reasons:

Firstly, it opens up more content to skillers.

Secondly, after I capped Archaeology, I felt that there was a missed opportunity for it to have been two skills - one for excavation, and one for restoration and collections. There was plenty of content in both parts for this to have been feasible, and it would have extended the longevity of the play time. Having Skillomancy as a separate skill would help extend the longevity, and also maintain plenty of content for two skills. If they became one skill, perhaps some things would be left out to prevent the skill from becoming "too big".

I have no doubts that they'll have something big planned for the 30th skill. The ideas I've put forward were merely to compliment the skill incoming, and I do feel that maybe this is too late to be putting the ideas forward. However, we knew nothing of Necromancy mechanics until recently anyway.

I like your idea of making use of summonee's becoming minions. I'll add it do the additional ideas post.
