Sorcery and Necromancy

Deathknights can learn sorcery up to the Celestial Circle and necromancy down to the Void Circle. Both magical arts see widespread use among the Abyssal Exalted, largely because they have such powerful and knowledgeable teachers in their Deathlord masters. Precious few libraries in Creation or even Yu-Shan can rival the vaults of the ancient Solar ghosts, who have literally spent ages hoarding as much mystical lore as they could find in search of a way to murder the world.

Deathlords hesitate to teach Void Circle Necromancy, though, which could render Abyssals largely independent of them. In fact, Deathlords prefer to dole out necromantic teaching in small pieces, so they can monitor their underlings' progress and test their continued loyalty.

In case it needs to be said, Eclipse Caste Solars cannot learn Void Circle Necromancy; the same applies to Moonshadows and Solar Circle Sorcery. Spells resemble Charms in many ways, but they are not Charms. Even if (at the Storyteller's option) the two castes could learn the base Charms of Solar Circle or Void Circle initiation, they could not learn the actual spells, any more than they could learn Lunar Knacks.
