Overview
In many games necromancy is usually the
evil school of
magic. The reason for this stems from the fact that necromancy is the magical art that deals with life and
death, often with the goal to make living things dead, and then resurrecting them as horrible
undead minions. Due to a
necromancers ability to raise a completely loyal army of
shambling corpses, necromancers are usually the ideal
bad guy in a fantasy setting. Other uses for necromancy is often
life stealing effects, curses /
debuffs, striking your enemies with fear, gaining
immortality by transforming yourself into a
lich, and many more. Necromancy is often regarded as one of the most broad
spell schools, and is often also the quickest to give access to very powerful spells, but these usually require the
caster to sacrifice some of his own
mortality.
