Description:

A Grave Witch Doctor (with female practitioners being known as the Grave Witches) is a Witch Doctor that has turned their studies to obtain the powers from beyond the grave. They have a close relationship with Necromancers, but unlike them, the Grave Witch Doctors specializes in the usage of ghosts rather than all the undead-types.

Grave Witch Doctors use their knowledge in Witchcraft, a special sort of magic that can allow alterations to be done to the magic spells used by standard Magic Skills, to call for supporters from beyond the grave, with Ghosts being their most frequent partners. 

Skills from this class include the [Necromancy Reinforcement] skill, which is normally restricted to the Necromancer-line classes, and [Witchcraft: Death], which allows them to perform magic spells of the Death attribute and give the spells their own personal touch if needed.

The Necromancy of the Grave Witch Doctor comes from their [Witchcraft: Undead Spirits]. Unlike the skills of the Necromancer, Grave Witch Doctors can only summon the undead of the creatures that have died in the area close to them, and they take the shape of Ghosts most of the time with Skeletons and Zombies being a rare exception. The main purpose of the undead is to support the Witch Doctor, either as bodyguards or as magic-related assistants through the Witch Doctor's [Coven] skill.

[Hex] is the standard skill for all Witch Doctors. It is a curse that affects the target so their stats will take a fall. Strangely, this skill can also be used to increase the target stats, so the Witch Doctor can act as a supporter as well.

[Workshop Creation] is a standard skill for Magician- and Artisan-line classes. In the hands of a Grave Witch Doctor, the Workshop will grant an extra oomph to Death- and Necromancy-related spells.

[Witch's Brew] is a powerful medicine-mixing skill that lets the Witch Doctor create potions infused with Witchcraft to enhance the brew's properties. Note that magics with opposing effects to the potions will just neutralize each component.

[Undead Fellowship] is representing the difference between the Grave Witch Doctor and the Necromancer by being a skill that enhances the Witch Doctor's stats based on the number of allied undead, as opposed to the Necromancer's [Undead Reign] which improves the undead's stats, and only by the presence of the Necromancer. The names of the skills also provide hints to the two classes' differences.

[Friend of the Dead], however, is a skill that both classes obtain at Lv.50. It allows the Witch Doctor to tame wild undead to do their bidding. This skill can take up to 6 undead under the Witch Doctor's wings at its highest level, and this skill does not count as a Taming-type skill, so the Witch Doctor can also obtain more monsters to do their bidding through that direction.

Lily's comment: Wait, I'm confused. Is the Witch wanting to be similar to the Necromancer, or not?

Mira's comment: Who can say for sure, but it's definitely reflecting the relationship between those two pretty well, even if either doesn't get it themselves.
