ummm...this dosn't count what you killed with ritual spells does it...cause my pretender has killed hundreds that way...but just in battle...right? right?!

I don't know about ritual spells, but it does count undead which you banish, at least in Doms I. The only guy I've lost to the spell so far is a priest who had banished a bunch of undead. So if that's still the case, you might want to build up a veteran banisher - go banish a bunch of Ermorian armies, and then stack them with the units you want to protect from the spell, including say some armor and maybe a summoning item - not only would he probably count as the biggest butcher, but he might be able to re-banish the hordes... or at least, he'd be relatively replacable. I guess in practice it might not be so simple, but it's an idea, anyway. I might do that with my priest who won the Death Match, for instance, although in that game, I'm sure my dragon pretender is the bigger butcher so far.

As for the skeleton talisman, I think it's Death 1, with zero research requirement.

LOL, please tell me what level artifact the skull companion is. I will look it up.

Skull Talisman requires 5 death gems, and I believe it requires level-one Death magic, and no research. It lets the wearer animate skeletons, and has one skeleton guard him/her at all times. Must be hard to get used to, at first.

Rituals did count wrt VOTD in Doms 1.

I had one of the AI opponents cast this spell where I had all my spellcasters researching... anyhow one of them had that nightmare. There was only two weak opponents that showed up in the nightmare! LOL
Needless to say she woke-up saying, "Yeahhh ! I kicked some butt while sleeping! "

Still from what I'm reading looks like that spell is kinda spooky now.
