Scholomance
5 encounters and 57 drops. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
Individuals seeking to master the powers of undeath know well of Scholomance, the infamous school of necromancy located in the dark and foreboding crypts beneath Caer Darrow. In recent years, several of the instructors have changed, but the institution remains under the control of Darkmaster Gandling, a particularly sadistic and insidious practitioner of necromantic magic.

Jandice Barov
Course: Advanced Illusions Barov's spirit lurked in the recesses of Scholomance for years, but now she has taken a more active role in educating the next generation of magi. Her vast knowledge of illusions has made her both a valued educator and a dangerous opponent to anyone foolish enough to draw her ire.
Abilities & Strategy
Wondrous Rapidity
Jandice rears her staff back with a flash of wondrous Arcane force, unleashing a barrage of attacks that inflict Arcane damage in a cone in front of her.

Jandice creates a gravity distortion field that inflicts Shadow damage to all enemies who enter it, knocking them back and causing them to briefly go blind.
Phantasmal Images
At 66% and 33% health Jandice dissipates into thin air, creating multiple illusions of herself. Destroying the one illusion Jandice hides behind forces her back into the fray. In Heroic difficulty, defeating the wrong image causes a Flash Bang, inflicting Arcane damage to all enemies.
Whirl of Illusion
Jandice hides amongst multiple illusions of herself, dancing in a Whirl of Illusion that inflicts Arcane damage to all enemies every 1 second.
Loot
10 drops · item level 23 to 39 · 5 slots (Back, Feet, Head, Legs, Shield) · all Bind on Pickup
Rattlegore
Course: Reanimation 101 Rattlegore was thought to have been destroyed in Andorhal, but Gandling immediately began preparations to reanimate the clattering terror so he could guard against intruders. The Darkmaster sought to make Rattlegore more ferocious than ever, imbuing him with an insatiable desire to harvest raw materials from his enemies.
Abilities & Strategy
Rusting
Rattlegore's dull blades rust with each successful melee attack, increasing damage by 0% but lowering attack speed by 0% and movement speed by 0% for 15 sec. This effect stacks.
Bone Spike
Rattlegore launches a powerful spike of bone at a random player, inflicting Physical damage and knocking them back a great distance. Bone Armor absorbs the effect of Bone Spikes.
Soulflame
The souls of the dead Boneweavers continue to torment the living, periodically engulfing a section of the room in Soulflame. The flame inflicts Fire damage every 0.5 sec. and grows in size over time.
Bone Pile

Bone Armor
Surrounds the caster with a series of whirling bones that absorbs one Bone spell.
Loot
10 drops · item level 23 to 39 · 5 slots (Feet, Hands, Ranged, Two-Hand, Wrist) · all Bind on Pickup
Lilian Voss
Course: Reeducation The undead Lilian Voss strangled her father--a high priest of the Scarlet Crusade--for treachery, and then started a rampage that eventually led her into the shadowy corridors of Scholomance. Rather than destroy the intruder, Darkmaster Gandling graciously decided to show Voss how to embrace her grim fate. The anger and runeblades she had once directed at the school are now turned toward Gandling's enemies.
Abilities & Strategy
Stage One: Fetch Me Their Bones!
Darkmaster Gandling turns Lilian Voss against her former allies, employing her powerful abilities to gather more corpses for his devious purposes. Though she tries to fight against his dark will, she cannot control her actions at this time.
Shadow Shiv
Death's Grasp
Lilian draws upon dark powers to pull all players to her location.
Dark Blaze
Periodically summons a patch of dark fire at the player's location, inflicting Fire damage every 0.5 seconds.
Stage Two: Your Soul is Mine!
When Lilian's health reaches 60%, her will finally breaks. Darkmaster Gandling forcefully rips her anguished soul from her physical body, then commands Lilian's Soul to attack the players.
Blazing Soul
Lilian's soul blazes with barely-contained hatred, periodically inflicting Fire damage to all players.
Unleashed Anguish
Lilian's anguish is further unleashed when striking players in melee. For every melee strike, Lilian will unleash another barrage of Blazing Soul. However, the movement speed of Lilian's Soul is significantly reduced.
Fixate Anger
Lilian's Soul fixates on a player. She will only attempt to attack that player and cannot be taunted.
Stage Three: A Perfectly Good Corpse
When Lilian's Soul reaches 1% health, Lilian's Soul fades into the spirit realm and cannot be attacked. Darkmaster Gandling reanimates what remains of Lilian's physical body to fight alongside Lilian's Soul. The reanimated corpse retains all abilities Lilian Voss used in Stage One.
Finale: Die, Necromancer!
When Lilian's physical body reaches 1% remaining health, she musters the strength to recombine with her soul for a final assault on Darkmaster Gandling.
Loot
