Perhaps the most evil of the black arts, necromancy is the summoning of the dead to do one's bidding. These villainous Necromancers wield the power of death, either for power, fear, or even worship.

Necromancers are not necessarily only manipulators of dead bodies, but may also seek manipulation and/or experimentation of the spirits of the deceased as well. Necromancy is often a second nature to Wizards and Death Gods.

They are the opposite of Murderers who bring living people to the dead, but it is possible to be both.

NOTE: if an article is already listed as a Lich please do not add them to Necromancers, as Liches are simply ascended Necromancers - much as an Archmage is still a type of Mage.
