Description
The corpse nearest your target explodes, sending out a shockwave that deals 24...101 damage to all nearby foes.

Acquisition
Skill Quests: Skill Trainers: Signet of Capture:
 * Oberan's Rage (Sardelac Sanitarium)
 * Captain Osric (Yak's Bend)
 * Dakk (Ember Light Camp)
 * ... to be added ...

Usage
This skill is a good way to deal a fair amount of damage quickly to a group, especially when combined with Death Nova.

Even without any points in Death Magic, this skill is good to bring along to counter enemy Necromancers. This is among the fastest-casting corpse exploitation spells (technically Necrotic Traversal casts faster, but this avoids the often inconvenient effect of being teleported to the middle of the action), so if you notice an enemy trying to cast Animate Bone Fiend or some similar spell, you can fire off Putrid Explosion and rob them of the very corpse they wanted to exploit.
