"Necrotic Touch: 6/4/2 SP, 12/8/4 seconds. Accepts Metamagics. Scales with full Spell Power. For 12 seconds after casting this, your Skeletal Knight reduces its incoming damage by 50%."

This is a fantastic step for pets in the game, love it.

Active abilities for pets to get big number offence or defence is awesome, please keep more coming even if they are not 100% uptime and need to burst, for example:

Necrotic Blast: 20/15/10 SP, 18/12/6 seconds. Accepts Metamagics, on cast your skelly knight's next attack also deals 1d6/caster level neg damage. Both scale with full Spell Power.
