Nihilists are the priesthood of Magnagora, and are tied to the demonic plane of Nil, from whence they receive the powers of necromancy. While nominally the spiritual leaders of Magnagora, they often focus on the accumulation of material wealth and power for the city rather than more esoteric concerns. Most adepts are accompanied by a demonic thrall sent by a Demon Lord of Nil to help in their work.

Nihilists are a class within the guardian archetype. Thus, they are required to take HighMagic as a common skill before being able to study Cosmic magic. Once having mastered Cosmic magic, the Nihilist then specializes in Nihilism, allowing them to travel to the cosmic plane of Nil and make pacts with the Demon Lords there. Their main secondary skill is Rituals, which when they master will allow them to specialize in Necromancy, thereby enhancing their holy powers. At some point Nihilists choose either to take the Hexes skill or to train in Tarot or to learn the science of Astrology. Nihilists may take Enchantment as a trade skill.
