"AND THE DEAD SHALL RISE, just because I say so!"

- Magnus Hainsley

Necromancy is the power to utilize magic involving the dead, life-force and/or souls. A form of sorcery that has power over death, is considered to be perhaps the most evil and even most dangerous of all the black arts. Practitioners of this trade are known as Necromancers and they not necessarily only manipulate dead bodies but may also seek manipluation/experimentation of the spirits of the deceased as well. Necromancy is also called "Necrokinesis" and "Undeath Magic".

Capabilities
The user's magical abilities revolve around manipulating the dead, death, the life-force and/or souls for good (i.e., resurrecting the dead), evil (in various ways) or neither. Users can also use communicate with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge.

Many practitioners find a way to cheat death one way or another, whether by becoming some form of undead creature or by bypassing their own ability to die.
