- Soul Reaper - No longer consumes Putrefy charges when cast, instead consumes up to 3 lesser ghoul buff stacks.
- Army of the Dead - Ghoul duration increased to 30 seconds, and during Army you can no longer summon additional lesser ghouls; instead, it gives them orders to deal more damage.

- Reanimation - Renamed Lord of the Dead. Now also causes a lich to be summoned if you have 3 or more magus’ active at once, sacrificing those magus to summon the lich.
- Commander of the Dead - No longer extends ghoul duration based on mastery.
