Skill Design

This skill is quite useful when combined with 5 points in Summon Zombie Dog, and at full rank, will give 25% increased spell damage (assumed). However, there aren't many (or none) active damaging skills in the Zombie Skill Tree, so it's best to synergize this skill with damaging skills from other trees, like Skull of Flame for example.
