Necromancer	comment	A practitioner of a specific kind of Whatevermancy, Necromancers are the masters of the art of death. Necromancy, the magic of Interrogating the Dead, has been practiced since at least Ancient Greece, where it was known as Necromantia, and probably earlier. In typical (older) media they're the epitome of the Evil Sorcerer, showing none of the respect in Due to the Dead, using The Dark Arts to create an army of skeletons, zombies, undead animals and undead monsters (or any kind of Undead being) to ravage the countryside or enslave souls of the damned for their own evil and twisted purposes, with the most ambitious examples being a horrifying combination of Evil Overlord and Omnicidal Maniac. Any villain that practices necromancy is virtually guaranteed to fall hard onto the far side of the evil scale, and any hero who dares to dabble in it is likely to be seen as having fallen into evil by others. However, necromancy didn't always have the evil connotations that it has today. The word necromancy comes from the words nekros (dead) and manteia (prophecy), meaning that necromancers are more likely to summon spirits for divination than armies of rotting zombies. It was widely practiced across the world until the Renaissance when it was equated with demonology and got its bad reputation. This means that sometimes necromancers are seen in a more sympathetic light, using their powers to commune with the dead, heal others, or use their power over souls for good ends. Most stories involving naive and inexperienced necromancers include the Aesop of how you should respect the cycle of life and death. In other cases, it involves the phrase "Be Careful What You Wish For" when those necromancers try to bring back a loved one. As it usually results in the resurrection going wrong and forcing them to re-kill said loved one. But since that's not nearly as interesting as zombies, the idea of a necromancer unleashing waves of zombies still persists. Of course, that doesn't stop them from unleashing the hordes on the bad guys instead! Commonly overlaps with Necromantic; either someone attempts necromancy in order to bring back their loved one, or this was the start of their descent into evil. Sometimes a character will approach a necromancer for their help in bringing back their beloved (which never ends well). It's not unheard of for a necromancer to be one of The Undead themselves, often a lich. Even if they aren't liches or other forms of undead themselves, they are likely to have unlocked other ways of prolonging their own lives to unnatural lengths. Furthermore, they may become partially undead. Since necromancers are typically seen animating not only still-fleshy corpses as zombies but also completely skeletal remains, Fridge Logic may raise the question of why there exists an arbitrary point past which a body is too decomposed to reanimate. After all, if the necromancer's magic can both hold together the bones of a skeleton despite the absence of ligaments and provide it with motor functions despite the absence of muscles, why then does the skeleton suddenly cease to function when those same bones get pulverized by the knight's warhammer? Following this, one might wonder if a necromancer could animate the ashes from an urn, or that hamburger you ate yesterday currently inside your small intestine. In another case of Fridge Logic, many writers have recently begun to question whether this form of magic would even be inherently evil in the first place. Depending on the specifics of the setting, it shouldn't logically be any different from repurposing some old worn out shirt that someone else has discarded, for example. Only metaphorically related to Thread Necromancer, where one resurrects dead forum threads. See also Animate Dead, Tested on Humans and The Necrocracy. If the necromancer is juxtaposed with a healing or nature-controlling character, see Life/Death Juxtaposition. See also Fossil Revival.

It's possible he inherited some of the zombies, but he can create them as well, as shown by the zombie version of his mentor in his first episode. And at least part of him could be considered Undead.

Necromancer / int_12fd8e7f	comment	Destiny is riddled with variations on necromancy, both good and evil. On the good side, there is the Traveler and the Guardians. The Traveler and its Light allow for Guardians to be resurrected by their Ghosts from the corpses or even the dusted remnants of a deceased person, creating a sort of lich-like superhuman warrior wielding the Light as a weapon, with little to no memory of their pasts. The other species and peoples of the Solar System make direct comparisons between the Guardians and the undead. On the darker side, there is the Hive and the Darkness. The Hive are a sort of alien species of techno-zombies and techno-liches who are animated and grow through violence and death and wield a bizarre form of Magitek that allows them to manipulate life and death. The Hive Wizards are even able to control death, with the Deathsingers able to use tones and music to define mortality, and two sisters of the Hive were able to "hide their deaths in each other" so that the only way to kill them permanently was to ensure they both died at the same time. Curiously, though, "true" necromancy is considered taboo among the Hive, as the idea of bringing back to life a being that had already been truly killed was an affront to their religion; to engage in this sort of necromancy was to be stricken from all records of the Hive forever. The Scorn, a faction introduced in the Forsaken expansion of Destiny 2, are a curious twist on this as well. Once members of the insect-like species known as the Fallen, the Scorn are the resurrected corpses of dead Fallen whose life-giving Ether gas is corrupted by the Darkness. The Darkness itself also seems to be able to inhabit and animate the bodies of the dead, and uses this to speak to its servants, although in this case it is described as "wearing the corpse like a suit."

Necromancer / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: In the first two games, necromancy is treated as a particularly foul aspect of Blood Magic, which is already feared and reviled: even blood mage protagonists (such as Merrill) shy away from raising the dead. The second game features a necromancer serial killer who turns out to be assembling the likeness of his dead wife out of his victims. The third game, however, makes Necromancer a specialization by itself — it's Dorian's, in fact. Necromancy that isn't fueled by blood magic is considered creepy but not nearly as controversial; the nation of Nevarra even has its own government-sanctioned order of necromancers.

On his airship trip Dominic meets a "good" necromancer, Brian, who claims that his job is more traditional speaking with the dead than animating corpses; in fact, the way he describes his job he appears to be a sort of Magitek mortician as much as anything else. Dominic, who has some fairly understandable issues with the profession given how much crap all three people on that list put him through, takes a certain amount of convincing. Brian, the "jolly necromancer", is actually Rilian in disguise, wearing his own skin — though said disguise was indeed how Rilian once used to be, before centuries of age took their toll.

In the Solid & Shade mod, the player is encouraged to play as one of these instead, quite literally digging through graveyards and crypts to raise a legion of morbid fiends and turn Calradia into a land of death.

Necromancer / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Souls The Catacomb Necromancers in Dark Souls tend to reanimate the skeletons in the Catacombs, they also hurl fireballs with their Skull Lantern, which is an important light source later on. You have to kill them or they'll keep reviving their undead soldiers. Pinwheel (a weird six-armed, three-faced thing in a robe that is fairly good with magic) who is shown conducting magic experiments on corpses is a Necromancer boss who's located at the same area, it splits itself and fires light orb. Gravelord Nito, First of the Dead, who is, more or less, Lordran's equivalent of The Grim Reaper, is the source of the Necromancy. He may also qualify as a Lich, though he is explicitly fully dead, not "undead". You can become one by learning Gravelord Sword Dance miracle from Nito, which summons spectral swords from the ground, as well as Undead Rapport pyromany from Quelana, which allows you to befriend mindless hollows temporarily.

They succeeded, and indeed, Humans Are Cthulhu. The aforementioned Chime Maidens were mad Pthumerian women, they bring back the dead from the ancient land of Pthumeru to haunt the city of Yharnam.

Necromancer / int_2a04866b	comment	A core profession in the MMO Guild Wars, which can animate fleshy minions from corpses, vampirize heath, and fling curses (and they often have to sacrifice a percentage of their health bar to do so). There's also the Ritualist class introduced in Factions, which are Necromancers of a sort dealing in binding the spirits of the dead rather than animating corpses. The game is heavily geared to dual-class, and unsurprisingly, these two work great in combination, whichever is primary. Also worth noting is that neither are evil. They're both dark, certainly, but both PC and NPC Ritualists and Necromancers are most often unambiguously on the side of good. They serve Grenth, the god of death and cold, but Grenth isn't an evil god (though he can be a bit cruel when Wintersday, comes around). In fact, he basically punched out the old god of death, who was evil, and took over.

His superboss battle in Devil Survivor 2 reflects this very well: he appears with a gaggle of demons, and will resurrect them with his Necromancy skill if they are defeated. If he is defeated himself, though, he will merely Body Surf to one of his flunkies' bodies, and physically warp him into the next Nebiros. Even worse, during the later superboss battle against Alice, he comes back with the same skill. He also converts the entire populace of Roppongi into undead named Bodyconians and binds their souls so they won't leave Alice in Shin Megami Tensei I. Who, incidentally, is implied to have been the disastrous result of him and Belial granting an innocent girl a fragment of their magic, killing her and creating a Humanoid Abomination in her image.

Necromancer / int_30a5ebfd	comment	There are three in Naruto—Orochimaru, the Second Hokage, and Kabuto. All use the Impure World Resurrection technique, which involves using a Human Sacrifice to resurrect somebody else in an indestructible golem-like body. To control the resulting zombie, it's necessary to implant a talisman into their head. This can either give the summoner direct control of the zombie or merely force the zombie to obey orders. The former is only practical when controlling a small number of zombies and might not work well if the summoner doesn't know how the zombie's best techniques work. The latter makes it practical to create a whole army of zombies, but is risky because a hostile zombie can use Loophole Abuse to technically obey its orders but still work against the summoner. For example, during the Fourth Shinobi World War when Kabuto sends out a large army of zombies against the heroes, some of them deliberately use poor tactics when attacking, and the Second Mizukage was even giving his enemies advice on how to defeat him. Originally this technique also had the downside that the zombies would be weaker than they were during life, but Kabuto perfected it so that with a few exceptionsnote It's impossible for a zombie to be the Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, and some Rinnegan techniques only work with a living body. they're just as strong as they were in the prime of their lives. Since Impure World Resurrection doesn't use any chakra (the Human Sacrifice provides all the power for it) and can create an army of the most powerful dead shinobi (the only limits are having a sample of their DNA and their soul being in the afterlife), Kabuto deems the perfected version the most powerful technique ever created. He boasts to his partner Tobi that it's the perfect technique with no weaknesses, but thinks to himself that it still has a big one: a zombie who manages to free itself from the talisman's control.

She later pulls some Loophole Abuse on a necromantic withering spell to grow crops at a greatly accelerated rate; the spell works by causing the target to age rapidly, so if she can actually provide everything the plants need, they can survive and thrive, and she draws necromantic runes outside hospitals to kill harmful viruses. The world is full of more traditional necromancers raising undead armies, but she doesn't stand for that; she eradicates the undead wherever she can. Especially since ghosts are literally tortured souls, it's how they're produced, so she considers freeing them to be a duty. The dark god Crowned Death, who is the usual deity for necromancers, is not pleased.

Necromancer / int_3b34143f	comment	Subverted in Harry Potter. It's possible to reanimate a person's corpse into an Inferi, but Necromancy is considered virtually useless because the body has no soul (in keeping with Dumbledore's statement in the first book that "No spell can raise the dead") and thus no will or intelligence. They do, unfortunately, work rather well if you have a large number of them guarding an artifact, as Harry finds out...Given that wizards seem to have more success enchanting inanimate objects with certain amounts of animation and intelligence if they want assistants, this is about the first setting where necromancy is Awesome, but Impractical. The use of the Inferi as guards despite their impracticality is actually symbolic of their creator's own fear of death. He's terrified of dying and he believes everyone else is too, so he figures walking corpses would be the ultimate deterrent. The resurrection stone from the the Fairy Tale The Tale of the Three Brothers was long believed to do this In-Universe (Dumbledore says this is why his old "friend" Grindelwald wanted it) but it in reality, all it does is summon a dead person's spirit for a few minutes).

Necromancer / int_3fb48d91	comment	Chloe Saunders from the Darkest Powers trilogy. In fact, she is almost certainly the most powerful necromancer in existence, and possibly the most powerful necromancer to ever exist. In a necromancer's case, though, having a lot of power is not always a good thing. Most necromancers eventually go insane later in life, and the trend seems to be that the more powerful they are, the faster it happens. In a world with sorcerers, witches, werewolves, half-demons, vampires, and all other sorts of supernatural creatures running around, necromancers really got the short end of the stick: They can talk to ghosts (who usually harass them), which makes them look schizophrenic since a necromancer can't tell a ghost from a living person; and they can raise the dead (but only one at a time, involving a complicated ritual, as well as practice and skill, and a willingness to shove a soul back into its rotting corpse). Fun times! Chloe's problem with zombies is actually reversed because of her insane amounts of power. Rather than needing a ritual and other things, she accidentally raises the dead in her sleep. Seeing as how she's a genuinely good person (and the protagonist, to boot), she was horrified to find out that she could do something like that, and sleeping anywhere where there might be corpses of any species is a big no-no for her.

Necromancer / int_41b0198a	comment	In the universe of The Dresden Files, necromancy on human remains is absolutely forbidden by the laws of the White Council. Of course, there are many illegal necromancers, and they've been shown to create zombies, control ghosts, and consume the spirits of the dead to increase their power. Harry himself ends up exploiting a loophole in the laws on necromancy â€” the law only says human remains, after all â€” to create a zombie T. rex. (Usually not done because of the way Necromancy works. Two things feed into the potential power of a reanimated body; age and psychological complexity. Sue may have been pretty dumb, but she was possibly the oldest corpse in the city.) The magic can also be used to forcibly prevent someone from dying long enough for their body to be repaired. One necromancer uses this to try to sell Harry a Dark Is Not Evil take on the whole business, which is left a bit ambiguous, as the necromancer in question joined the dark side for altruistic reasons. And not vague, Social Darwinist-esque motivations either. She saved a man's life for no benefit, a fact which Harry notes with dismay. The more traditional sort of necromancer also shows up, called an "ectomancer", who can summon and speak with ghosts, but can't outright command them. The ghosts like this sort a lot better. Though as Morty demonstrates when left with a pit of wraiths - mindless ghosts - it's not necessarily "can't" but "won't". He promptly curbstomps the spirit of one of the most powerful necromancers in centuries with a thousand of them. Also, Ghost Story gave fans an answer to a question left over from the TV series: "Just how powerful is the ghost of a necromancer?" The answer? The ghost of a knowledgeable, experienced and skilled necromancer (as opposed to the ghost of someone newly dead) is downright terrifying. It turns out that Harry wasn't kidding when, in a previous book, he described necromancers as equal in power to faerie queens, demon lords and archangels. One famous necromancer, Kemmler, when the entire White Council and all their allies finally killed him, managed to come back. And not just once, but seven times before they finally put him down for good. Oh, and he engineered WWI, wrote a lot of terrifyingly easy to understand books on the principles of necromancy and black magic that he published far and wide, devoured enough power to take on the entire White Council alone, and figured out how to become a Physical God. Thankfully, they put him down for good before he got to the last part.

He's also the designated Token Evil Teammate, required to do or say the things that are morally questionable yet necessary like knocking his boss unconscious to break the hold of a possessing artifact.

In some versions of the tale, he ritually cuts open a path to the Underworld and calls forth some ghosts, such as his mother, Achilles, and Agamemnon, as well as Tiresias, a prophet whom Odyssey needed to consult to learn how to appease Poseidon. This was a rite in Ancient Greece known as Nekyia, which was summoning the dead to speak to them, the original meaning of Necromancy. He made sure to close the path once there were signs of risks, since it was technically a way out for the dead that Cerberus did not guard.

Necromancer / int_4be1bdd0	comment	The first Golden Sun didn't have many references to necromancy, but The Lost Age has the Dark Mage class series, unlocked with an artifact in a small Bonus Dungeon under Kibombo (where it's normally kept for the local witch-doctors to use), which can summon zombies and inflict curses upon enemies, among other things. All of those spells are Venus-aligned for some odd reason, though inaccessible in default classes. Dark Dawn doesn't have class-enabling artifacts like the Tomegathericon, and by extension no Dark Mage classes... but Himi's exclusive Curse Mage class series does much of the same, which is pretty weird since she's normally a cute little Shrine Maiden. Also, Sveta's Spirit Sense Psynergy can be used to read the minds of the dead, for the more benign "speak with dead" version. The results can be horrified recollections of the moments leading up to their deaths, or amusing snark and comments on how cool being a ghost is.

Ainz Ooal Gown is an Overlord, so he is able to summon low, medium, and high tier undead. Back in the game, these are only temporary summons which will vanish after a certain amount of time. Much to his surprise, when he tries to create a Death Knight after killing a man in the New World, it raises the corpse as a Death Knight that does not vanish. However, there are certain limits: Ainz is unable to create higher-tier undead which don't vanish using human corpses. To do so, he needs a stronger 'base material' so to speak - the corpse of stronger beings will allow the permanent creation of stronger undead.

In one known case in the annals of the history of the Third Age, Sauron manages to indirectly gain control over the corpses of the dead by utilising the Barrow-Wights. According to the supplementary materials they are evil spirits (not the souls of the original deceased) sent by the Witch-King of Angmar, Sauron's Dragon, to possess the bodies of dead kings to torment their former subjects.

In this setting, the summoned undead are actually the most effective for fighting against demons due to them being composed of pure spirit (i.e., with no flesh that can be corrupted). Because of this, Opalneria Rain refers to necromancy as a form of holy magic, but aknowledges that because of the grim nature of it, it is often catagorized as The Dark Arts. This makes this both a straight example and an inversion of necromancy typically being a form of Black Magic.

Necromancer / int_5908ee91	comment	Skyrim: The Mages' Guild is long gone, and its regional equivalent, the College of Winterhold, is just fine with teaching necromancy. Necromancy is also better represented mechanically — where previously the player could at best hope to get a Summon Zombie spell, Skyrim allows you to zombify specific dead things, up to and including giants. Granted, there are only two College members who practice it openly; The Conjuration instructor who was kicked out of Morthal because of a Noodle Incident, and in general advises discretion. Another went mad and sacrificed dozens of his acolytes in order to corrupt Azura's Star and make himself immortal. Besides them, one can often find loose bands of necromancers hiding out in caves and old Nordic ruins. One side quest involves a coven of necromancers attempting to raise and bind into servitude the spirit of Potema the Wolf Queen, and the standing stone of The Ritual allows the Dragonborn to raise all dead in the vicinity once per day. Another quest features a particularly sick Altmer necromancer who was run out of Dawnstar for his experiments and holed himself up in an old Nord burial crypt, and has started kidnapping and murdering Dawnstar's young girls and resurrecting them to use as sex slaves. Since the Dawnguard DLC is centered around vampires, necromancy is a pretty central component of the story. Aside from the fact that your main companion during the DLC, Serana, is a vampire necromancer, a significant part of the questline involves traveling to the Soul Cairn, a realm of Oblivion created and ruled by the Ideal Masters, formerly mortal Energy Beings who traffic in souls and have a Horror Hunger for acquiring more. They are known to make deals with mortal necromancers, granting them power (or in the case of Serana's mother, Valerica, protection) in exchange for more souls. (Often including the souls of the dealmakers themselves.)

And while the game has yet to bring in an actual Necromancer class, it does have the Death Knight, who gets death-themed powers and a ghoul pet. Kel'thuzad is depicted as the Necromancer of the setting. He was originally just an extremely powerful mage, but mastered all normal forms of magic so decided to push the boundaries and delve into necromancy. This led to him forming the Cult of the Damned, seeking immortality, and eventually gaining it as a lich. Since we didn't destroy his Soul Jar, he's still alive, at least according to Word of God. In the game's expanded universe, necromancy is usually portrayed as a naturally evil, corrupt, and tainted form of magic that withers the user and the land itself. The Lich King and the undead scourge practice a form of necromancy that is akin to rape, while the Forsaken, the playable undead race, practice necromancy with much more respect to the undead they raise.

Necromancer / int_5f476c9f	comment	The Harda Horda anthology has two vastly different examples, both more or less seen as benign: The whole point of Where the Shadows Have Gone, set in your generic fantasy world, is to take all the related cliches on a ride. Noah, the main character, is a mild-mannered, nerdy guy that isn't evil in the slightest, while his job is more or less that of a medium and an exorcist for hire, sending the poor, tormented souls stuck on the material plane to the afterlife. His trade is pretty rare (and thus profitable) profession due to a heavy social stigma, since people in-universe either apply all the standard cliches to his line of work, or, much to Noah's annoyance, the emerging gothic romance genre instead created a cliche of a bad boy wizard that just needs to find love thanks to his kidnapped bride. The story also deals with the fact that for all the harmless nature of necromancy when done by professionals, it also has the unfortunate tendency to cause With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, especially when one is untrained with how to deal with all the occult and spiritual stuff - all of which seems to be the basis for the social bias towards necromancers. Spiritlessness is an Urban Fantasy set in the contemporary modern world, where Marek's speciality is treated like any other form of magic - he simply talks with spirits and can animate dead bodies for a while, without harming anything or anyone. However, he goes into the deep end after first his newborn daughter dies and then his wife eventually successfully commits suicide - the story is him trying to bring her back from the dead in a permanent manner, which is a social taboo in-universe, along with a Dangerous Forbidden Technique involving a very literal Deal with the Devil.

Necromancer / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons has a long history with necromancy, to the extent that one of the eight schools into which all spells are categorized by default is necromancy. Playing a necromancer has varied notably over the editions, however. Playing a wizard specializing in necromancy, or "Necromancer", first became an option in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition; whilst the ability to animate corpses as skeletons or zombies had appeared much earlier, and NPC classes for the archetype had appeared in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition ruleset in the pages of Dragon #76 and Polyhedron #28, this was the first edition to place it into player's hands. Mechanically, the Necromancer was no different to any of the other Specialist Wizards in the player's handbook; it had some minor spellcasting bonuses with its favored school, and in return gave up access to all spells and magic items of its "opposition" school; Illusion. Clerical necromancers also became fully defined in this edition, with he fundamental principle being that wizardly necromancers have more offensive spells, but clerical necromancers are better able to battle the undead and could, depending on the cleric, also subjugate "free-roaming" undead instead of having to create their own. 2nd edition also saw the release of a sourcebook called "The Complete Necromancer's Handbook", which provided a large array of new optional mechanics and lore for both wizardly and clerical necromancers. This book officially divided necromancy into three schools; White Necromancy for healing and banishing the undead; Gray Necromancy for animating the dead; and Black Necromancy for inflicting death and disease. Variants of the necromancer archetype also appeared in settings for 2nd edition. Dark Sun featured the Athasian Necromancer, who drew their magical energy from The Gray rather than depleting the planet of its already exhausted life-force, ironically making them less evil. Ravenloft featured the Arcanist; a wizard specialized in dark and unwholesome lore, giving them the combined abilities of a Diviner and Necromancer, plus the cleric's ability to Turn and Command Undead, at the cost of almost all offensive spells and the fact that Ravenloft was a setting where neither school was practical. Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition largely maintained the set-up from its predecessor, although necromancers could now choose which school they sacrificed rather than automatically losing access to illusions. A new class was added in this edition; the Dread Necromancer. These uber-specialists lost almost all access to non-necromancy spells, but had class features that made them far more adept at using them, including getting a free transformation into a lich over the course of the class. Pathfinder largely imitates 3rd edition, with the exception that necromancy specialist wizards gain the Turn/Command Undead class feature as well as clerics. A 3rd edition sourcebook for Ravenloft, "Van Richten's Guide to the Walking Dead", features a new Charisma skill called "Reign Undead", which allows the user to train normally mindless undead to be capable of more complicated tasks. Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition largely removed necromancy as anything more than a thematic construct for wizards, due to its drastically altered spellcasting system and deliberate shift away from letting players have hordes of summoned, conjured or animated minions. Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition reinvented the 3rd edition Necromancer. Now, the necromancer gained class features that allowed them to better withstand the attacks of the undead and even became the exclusive possessor of the Command Undead class feature. Whilslt clerics retained their Turn Undead special attack, "necromancer clerics" were reduced to two archetypes; the Death Domain Cleric, who specializes in killing things, and the Grave Domain Cleric, who is specialized in defeating the undead. In 5e, it is possible to play as Necromancer as a Druid and even a Paladin. The Druid of the Spore Subclass has access to Animate Dead as well as the ability to use a reaction to quickly raise a single dead body by stuffing it with magical Cordyceps. Oathbreaker Paladins additionally have access to Animate Dead and can use a daily ability to try to take control of an already existing undead creature for 24 hours. Much like the Conjurer, the Necromancer is traditionally a rather unpopular PC class in Dungeon masters of 2nd and 3rd edition, due to the Game-Breaker potential of the class's most iconic spell, Animate Dead — especially if the character has specialization feats to back it up. After the party defeats an encounter, the caster uses one spell and gets some or all of the monsters as his permanent lackeys to throw at the next encounter, but with added health, immunities, and damage resistance now. This led to drastic mechanical changes in 4th and 5th edition precisely to remove this problem.

He develops a serum which makes the dead reanimate perfectly, and tweaks it to create legions of strong, obedient zombie soldiers. Fresher dead, better preserved, retain some of their faculties; the freshest, like the twelve-year-old boy he killed for this purpose, can remember and speak. They obey only him, and since he injects himself before a bounty hunter kills him, he reanimates the freshest of them all, without losing any of his mind as far as he can tell. The same book has a quick recounting of the legend of Sycorax, a witch who lived on Necropolis years ago who claimed she could raise the dead. The Necropolitans then killed her son and challenged her to raise him... instead, she cursed them before dying herself, saying that if they did not pay their Due to the Dead, they would regret it. Present-day Necropolitans believe Sycorax could raise the dead, and that if she was called on, she might help.

Nex-Mex skills do Spooky (read: a send-up of Shadow or Darkness) damage, either focused on one enemy or to all of them, steal health, and conjure three kinds of skeletal mooks (a brawler, a wizard, or a gunfighter). These skills come with drawbacks such as a haggard appearance, a body that's starting to shut down, and a morbid fascination with unwholesome things; leading to fun stuff like cataracts and old-people muscles that reduce Gun and Sword damage, white hair that reduces your Moxie (the game's version of Charisma, but pulls double-duty as Agility), and lowered money/item drops.

Necromancer / int_6c1234ed	comment	The February 2012 update of Dwarf Fortress features them. They'll siege your fortress now and then if you're close enough to one of their towers. You most likely won't know it's them attacking, though; usually the only way to tell a Necromancer siege apart from a run-of-the-mill zombie siege is that the zombies resurrect as soon as they go down — somewhere close by is a necromancer in hiding, raising whatever gets cut down. You can also become a necromancer in Adventure Mode- and it's the most wonderful kind of tremendously overpowered. The only prerequisite you need is the ability to read (chosen at character generation), and the survivability to track down a tome with a description containing the phrase "secrets of life and death". Read the book, instant necromancy. You no longer need to rest, eat, or drink, and you can, ten times per turn, at no cost, revive any corpse or dismembered body part that you can see, which will immediately get up and start attacking your enemies. they'll ether die again, in which case you can just revive them again, or manage to kill something or hack something off, which you can then revive, until you have a functioning zombie army to follow you around everywhere, wrecking everything. As It happens, quite a few mainstream Roguelikes feature Necromancer as a class, notable among those being Slash'EM and Dungeon Crawl.

Necromancer / int_6cd819eb	comment	In the Skulduggery Pleasant series, Necromancy is one of the main branches of adept magic, and is one of the few magical disciplines that is organised into a religious order. The Necromancy Order plays the major role as the Big Bad throughout books 4-6, culminating in the arrival of the messianic 'Death Bringer', a sorcerer so powerful that they could halt the flow of life and death and do away with the concept of death. These necromancers are also capable of shadow magic and manipulation, and this is their main combat weapon. Despite this, most necromancers are not bad or evil, but they simply believe that the arrival of the Death Bringer will save the world. Valkyrie Cain, the protagonist, uses necromancy along with elemental magic, though she doesn't subscribe to their beliefs.

Necromancer / int_747a18bc	comment	In Battle for Wesnoth, necromancers are quite common, and are the reason for The Undead being a faction in themselves and a major, recurring threat to Wesnoth. The allure of immense power and potential immortality (via transformation into a Lich) draws in practitioners of the dark arts, and although the extreme strain of their training causes most of these 'Dark Adepts' to become extremely frail and weak physically, it does give them impressive magical firepower. The Adepts' higher-level promotions, the Dark Sorcerer, Necromancer, and Lich, often lead the Undead armies in battle, making them perhaps the most powerful individuals in the Wesnoth-verse note (the characters, not the actual units). However, they are Hated by All. Necromancers, both alive and undead, have been involved in so many wars and battles throughout the various campaigns, since before the creation of the titular kingdom to hundreds of years after it's fall, that they have become somewhat of a cliche in Wesnoth.

They're feared and distrusted by most people (with some reason, as a Bone Witch who uses her powers for evil can be an incredibly destructive force), but are tolerated due to their skill at controlling and killing Daeva, the resident Hybrid Monsters.

He's the descendant of the original Dr. Faustus who made a Deal with the Devil and Faust learned about being a shaman and necromancy from his books. He did it to resurrect his wife from the dead so he's got the Necromantic thing going on as well. Finally, his basic fighting technique is to summon tons and tons of skeletons. Not to mention he's about the most evil character we see until Big Bad shows up.Faust makes a Heelâ€“Face Turn after that though.

Necromancer / int_79ab0b3c	comment	Various forms of necromancy come up in Tortall Universe. Usually if it's not the purview of the gods, the gods hate it. At the end of the second book of Song of the Lioness Alanna finally kills her archenemy Duke Roger and leaves court. Her mage brother Thom stays behind and is swayed by Roger's followers, who alternately flatter him and put him down until he brings Roger back to life. Purportedly he was Not Quite Dead but in a "sorceror's sleep" that had him Buried Alive for the eight months it took before Thom raised him - regardless, he Came Back Wrong, having gone from wanting the throne to wanting to throw a Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum. He was also able to draw on Thom's strength and magic, though he claimed to have left his own magic in the grave. The goddess known as the Graveyard Hag can briefly grant the ability to raise the dead to her pawns, one of whom roused a graveyard's worth of humans at some unknown point in the past. The power works by touch but doesn't work for free - waking one corpse can leave the 'necromancer' lightheaded and dizzy but fine, waking several in succession will kill them, and they have to make their own arrangements for the power required to raise an army. The dead feel no pain or distress and seem to default to mildly following their necromancer's orders. Daine, finding herself favored by the Hag in the third book of The Immortals, resists the idea of waking humans and accidentally rouses several preserved dead animals (such as a tiger skin rug) until her Rage Breaking Point at the climax of the book, which has her touching a whole lot of dinosaur bones. The Immortals doesn't use the word "necromancer", but it does come up once in Protector of the Small referring to a mage named Blayce. He's built steel-and-bone constructs only known as "killing devices", which are Powered by a Forsaken Child (literally; he kills children to use their souls to power the devices, and the uneasy heroes note that there's no reason why his victims have to be children, it's simply that he likes that). Blayce claims this is simply where his talents lie and he can't help being a necromancer. The Chamber of the Ordeal despises him as much as it can despise anyone and sends Kel to stop him. Finally, in the "Dead Person Conversation" sense, the titular Beka Cooper has a minor magical affinity for spirits. Pigeons are (mostly) unwitting psychopomps that carry the dead until they slip into the Peaceful Realms. Beka can hear their passengers and later communicate with them and uses this to try to solve murders. The Black God favors her for this. Farmer Cape, the mage she meets in the third book, has a spell that can let him listen in on Beka's conversations and another spell that allows him to speak to the dead who've passed entirely out of the mortal world, though he does note that they forget things quickly and so it's not always as useful as one might think.

The ghost of a knowledgeable, experienced and skilled necromancer (as opposed to the ghost of someone newly dead) is downright terrifying.

What makes it really dangerous is that as a Necromancer's skill and power increase, s/he learns to handle very large numbers of undead, by studying and exploiting the death magick that empowers them, so they can field armies capable of depopulating cities (and then "recruiting" the casualties).

Necromancer / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls Necromancy is banned in most places throughout Tamriel in the series, with pretty good reason. Although it can be employed without any major consequences, the mere fact of raising a dead body is generally considered evil. The 3rd Cyrodillic Empire (under the Septim dynasty) didn't actually outlaw it, as long as the dead in question was a willing volunteer. (They considered the body and soul to be property that could be sold or willed to another after death.) Likewise, there are many who argue that necromancy can be useful and ethical. In the series' backstory, the Order of the Black Worm was founded by Mannimarco, a legendary Altmer (High Elf) necromancer and the first lich ever created in Tamriel. They are infamous for their use of Black Soul Gems to capture the souls of sapient beings. Mannimarco himself plays a role in the main quest of Daggerfall and is the Big Bad Starscream in The Elder Scrolls Online. The Sload, a race of "slugmen" native to the archipelago of Thras to the southwest of Tamriel, have a natural affinity toward necromancy. One of the most famous necromancers in Tamriellic history, N'Gasta, was a Sload. The Sload use their skills in necromancy to re-animate dead bodies to use as slave labor, as well as to "slaughter and revive" various forms of sea creature as pets, such as crabs and turtles. A common trait in many vampire bloodlines is an aptitude for necromancy. Some vampire bloodlines even have the inherent ability to temporarily revive a corpse to fight on their side. In Morrowind, the Tribunal Temple has banned necromancy and considers practicing it punishable by death, despite it being legal (with certain reasonable restrictions) elsewhere in the Empire. This is rooted in their religious beliefs which include significant ancestor worship. In Oblivion, Mages Guild Archmage Hannibal Traven has banned the practice of necromancy within the Guild, driving many of its former legal practitioners to the aforementioned Order of the Black Worm. Mannimarco makes another appearance as the Big Bad of the overall Mages Guild questline. Skyrim: The Mages' Guild is long gone, and its regional equivalent, the College of Winterhold, is just fine with teaching necromancy. Necromancy is also better represented mechanically — where previously the player could at best hope to get a Summon Zombie spell, Skyrim allows you to zombify specific dead things, up to and including giants. Granted, there are only two College members who practice it openly; The Conjuration instructor who was kicked out of Morthal because of a Noodle Incident, and in general advises discretion. Another went mad and sacrificed dozens of his acolytes in order to corrupt Azura's Star and make himself immortal. Besides them, one can often find loose bands of necromancers hiding out in caves and old Nordic ruins. One side quest involves a coven of necromancers attempting to raise and bind into servitude the spirit of Potema the Wolf Queen, and the standing stone of The Ritual allows the Dragonborn to raise all dead in the vicinity once per day. Another quest features a particularly sick Altmer necromancer who was run out of Dawnstar for his experiments and holed himself up in an old Nord burial crypt, and has started kidnapping and murdering Dawnstar's young girls and resurrecting them to use as sex slaves. Since the Dawnguard DLC is centered around vampires, necromancy is a pretty central component of the story. Aside from the fact that your main companion during the DLC, Serana, is a vampire necromancer, a significant part of the questline involves traveling to the Soul Cairn, a realm of Oblivion created and ruled by the Ideal Masters, formerly mortal Energy Beings who traffic in souls and have a Horror Hunger for acquiring more. They are known to make deals with mortal necromancers, granting them power (or in the case of Serana's mother, Valerica, protection) in exchange for more souls. (Often including the souls of the dealmakers themselves.)

In the original, being a Necromancer automatically flagged your character as evil (getting them a Kill on Sight reaction from non-evil-aligned city guards), even if they were part of an otherwise Neutral or Good race. In EverQuest II, you literally cannot be a Necromancer unless you are evil. Only evil characters can start as one, and if a Necromancer performs the City Betrayal questline, they spontaneously stop being a Necromancer. (Conversely, if a Good Conjurer performs the questline, they spontaneously become a Necromancer)

Necromancer / int_a134c04a	comment	The World of Darkness: Used many, many times in various gamelines: Vampire: The Masquerade has the Giovanni clan, a Mafia family of vampires with a long history of necromantic practices. The corpses serve multiple purposes, one of them being that, since the Giovanni bite causes a lot of pain, they provide a more reliable means of blood than feeding on live humans. There're also a few bloodlines who have necromantic powers: the Harbingers of Skulls, who all look like walking corpses and seek revenge on the Giovanni, the Samedi, who all look like rotting corpses and have Hollywood Voodoo associations, the Impundulu, an African bloodline who can only feed from one family, and the flesh-eating Nagaraja. Vampire: The Requiem brings the Giovanni back as the Sangiovanni bloodline. Out with the Mafia ties, in with the necrophilia. It also adds two other necromantic bloodlines; the Burakumin, a Japanese Nosferatu strain with Eastern-themed necromantic powers called Getsumei, and the Apollinaire, who have a Hollywood Voodoo motif. Mage: The Awakening has the Moros path, sometimes called the Necromancers. They have an innate understanding of the ways of Death and Matter; doesn't necessarily mean they're bad people, though. Geist: The Sin-Eaters has the Necromancer Archetype; however, it's less about raising the dead and more about understanding the mysteries of death and the Underworld. Though, as the titular Sin-Eaters have death-themed powers (making them all necromancers in a way), there are of course rituals to raise zombies. In Mage: The Ascension, the Euthanatoi have experience with most uses of death-aspected magic — communicating with ghosts, binding, warding, and compelling ghosts, and merging the states of life and death, among others. A number of Hollow Ones also work with ghosts, and have developed several spells to help their allies out. In Princess: The Hopeful, the Court of Tears has unmatched affinity for magic dealing with ghosts and the Underworld. Notably, this is one of the few spheres of Tears magic that is not a Belief Compromise to use, and there are even Radiants who study Tears magic exclusively for its ghost-related Charms (and take a solemn oath not to use any of the other powers Tears grants). This is also much closer to the classical portrayal of Necromancy than the modern use of the term, being more concerned with communicating with ghosts, preserving benign ghosts, or banishing malignant ones than with calling up zombie armies or killing people.

He is quite polite when speaking with dead souls, and is horrified when he thinks that his attempted resurrection of Hank and Dean has instead resulted in bringing them back as zombies. Although he does trap the souls of two "foul mouthed rednecks" in some dolls after they wouldn't stop calling him gay. One would think that he'd be used to it, judging by the way he looks and dresses. Said rednecks were hassling him in the hopes of starting a fight. And he did try to warn them. Rusty delved in necromancy as part of Ventura's "Venturestein" iniciative. The results left much to be desired. The man admitted he was more interested in seeing if he could do it and to "laugh in God's face", in his own words. He also realized the only practical use he could give to the newly resurrected was to sell them to the military as willing suicide bombers. Dr. Orpheus also said to 21 that he chose to be a "Necromancer" simply because it wasn't made popular in a long time.

Necromancer / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible: The Old Testament comes down pretty hard on divination in general, including necromancy, and exhorts the Israelites not to put their faith in sorcerers. However, it's because those practices are associated with alien gods (not that kind) and Human Sacrificeâ€¦ not because they don't work. At one point (in 1 Samuel 28), a necromancer conjures the spirit of Samuel, a dead prophet, to ask some questions. While Samuel does show up, he's not real happy about it and basically just tells Saul that God is done with him. In the Book of Ezekiel, God Himself commands Ezekiel to resurrect a whole army of skeletons, which were the people of Israel, to reclaim their homes. Unlike any typical skeletal army, they were fully resurrected into living beingsnote and by modern day RPG Mechanics 'Verse, it's True Resurrection, not Animate Dead, subverting the typical expectation of this trope. On a smaller scale, the prophets Elijah and Elisha would noticeably raise a few people (marking them as genuine prophets). In the New Testament, Jesus himself (and then later, Saints Peter and Paul, by his example) will do the same.

The series' real necromancer is Kaku Seiga who raised Miyako Yoshika as a Jiang-Shi subordinate. Aside from that, Seiga also has a Spell Card titled "Evil Sign: Yang Xiaogui", which is a sorcery involving the resurrection of dead fetuses by having dead spirits possess the corpses. In the backstory she also taught Miko the secret of becoming a Shikaisen, a Hermit who's achived immortality by discarding their body and imbuing an object with their soul. In other words: Our Liches Are Different.

Necromancer / int_a825da3e	comment	Magic: The Gathering: Some creatures (normally Black, and with standard job-based creature types such as Cleric, Wizard or Shaman) are called necromancers; it's a magical specialization. Most necromancers have abilities related to getting something useful from the death of creatures, which clearly distinguishes them from the Demon-summoning nutcases (the other main group of human and almost human users of Black magic) and from Zombie lords that are themselves an undead Zombie and make other zombies more powerful or useful. Notable in-universe examples include: The planeswalker Liliana Vess specializes in raising the living dead, and her cards usually involve the ability to generate zombies in-game. One of her most notable accomplishments is turning the river Luxor into blood and then raising every dead animal within it as an unliving horde. Gisa Cecani is one of Innistrad's most gifted ghoulcallers, dark wizards who specialize in raising zombies. She greatly prefers the company of the dead to that of the living, and after the destruction of Thraben installs herself there as the queen of a city of the undead. Lim-DÃ»l the Necromancer was an ancient Dominaria wizard who gained powerful necromantic powers through deals with dark entities, and his armies of the walking dead terrorized Terisiare and Shandalar during the closing days of the Ice Age.

Tam is a lich (a type of the undead who uses a Soul Jar for living beyond their physical death-it's also implied Sofina is too). Their plan is to turn many people into undead soldiers who Tam can use in conquering lands beyond Thay as well using a powerful spell, which he'd already used in their country. Also, a spell is used by the heroes to question dead barbarians in seeking a powerful magical artifact, something encompassed by the original meaning of "necromancy".

Necromancer / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Eldar Spiritseers are explicitly compared in-universe to necromancers. Although they don't animate corpses, Spiritseers are psykers able to commune with the spirits in the Infinity Circuit, and guide the departed souls as they take to the battlefield as Wraithguard or Wraithlords. The Eldar still regard the practice as abhorrent, but Necessarily Evil given these desperate times. Necrons, being zombie robots, can do this, but only with their own troops. Few things or more disheartening to the enemy than finally killing one of the damn things and seeing them get back up. Dark Eldar Haemonculi can bring people back from the dead (and not as undead: as their actual selves), it's one of the reasons slavery in Commorragh is so horrible a fate, as you can't even escape it through suicide. The process breaks down if used excessively, inducing Came Back Wrong in people who die a lot (or in the case of Urien Rakarth, look forward to getting killed and resurrected to see what new additions their body will have).

Necromancer / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: The setting makes a difference between those that use the Lore of Death (more classical necromancy, communicating with the dead and one of the eight Winds of Magic) and those that use necromancy (animating the dead, a form of dark magic based on a twisted and perverted form of the Lore of Death). Necromancers and vampires use this second form of necromancy to animate armies of undead followers, while wizards from the Empire and the elven nations use the Lore of Death to, among other things, battle the resulting undead hordes. Necromancy in the Warhammer World began with Nagash, the first and greatest necromancer who was originally a high priest of the Nehekharan Mortuary Cult and Omnicidal Maniac who attempted to raise all the dead of the world as his servants. The liche-priests are another kind of necromancer who summon the spirits of fallen warriors into their own skeletal remains to continue serving their kings as in life. The Old World Necromancy used by necromancers and vampires is actually a bastardisation (some might say a refinement) of the traditional necromantic practices of the Liche Priests, pioneered by the Great Necromancer Nagash for his own nefarious ends. As such the underlying magical principles are the pretty much the same, but manifested in culturally distinct ways.

He actually succeeded in killing Dredd, only to revive him. The Sisters of Death are the source of the Dark Judges' zombified state after they befriended the young Judge Death. Judge Death himself also has some power over the dead, forcibly zombifying both Chief Judge Silver to continue tormenting and humiliating him and a Cursed Earth resident named Malachi to wipe the radlands clean of life. The villain from Judgment Day, Sabbat the Necromagus, animated an army of zombies to launch a global Zombie Apocalypse. His backstory shows that he was Murd's best student.

Necromancer / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm: The Laws of Magic forbid necromancy, but it doesn't stop a lot of people trying. Gravemoss, part of the Big Bad Duumvirate of the first book, is a Light Elf and a Loki-class sorcerer from Alfheim which means that he's a stupidly powerful sorcerer and Humanoid Abomination. And that's before he gets hold of the Darkhold. His favourite tools are the veidrdraugar, the Hunting Dead, which are functionally half Predator, half T-800 on crack and prone to eating their victims alive. However, he isn't too picky - he'll wipe out a species of dragon and raise them instead. In the finale, he summons zombies the size of skyscrapers. Kemmler, a Predecessor Villain, was one of the most dangerous necromancers of all time, so powerful that he could defy the entire White Council alone and it took seven very thorough attempts to kill him for good. He also engineered WWI for bodies. The worst part was that he became this powerful because he was a Badass Bookworm who studied magic in depth and wrote three 'How To' books on necromancy and other dark magic. The fourth, The Word of Kemmler, contained the Darkhallow - a rite of ascension to Greater Godhood - and is the target of his surviving apprentices and several other magical powerhouses, including Voldemort. Who got hold of it, made a copy, then handed over the original to his nominal Mistress, Selene of the Shadows. Harry Dresden has an aptitude for it, as he discovers against the Kemmlerites, when it becomes a necessity. Cue Loophole Abuse, leading to that moment - the Laws of Magic are made to protect humans, and given the nature of necromancy, it's rarely worth reanimating animals unless they're stupidly old. Which makes Sue the T-Rex just perfect.

Whilslt clerics retained their Turn Undead special attack, "necromancer clerics" were reduced to two archetypes; the Death Domain Cleric, who specializes in killing things, and the Grave Domain Cleric, who is specialized in defeating the undead. In 5e, it is possible to play as Necromancer as a Druid and even a Paladin. The Druid of the Spore Subclass has access to Animate Dead as well as the ability to use a reaction to quickly raise a single dead body by stuffing it with magical Cordyceps. Oathbreaker Paladins additionally have access to Animate Dead and can use a daily ability to try to take control of an already existing undead creature for 24 hours.

There are, however, plenty of gruesome cases where it's probably a blessing that he sticks to his guideline of keeping them alive for only one minute (otherwise something else dies); at any rate, even the better cases aren't quite normal afterward, as while they can be killed again (and thus permanently), they nonetheless stop aging.

Necromancer / int_c811f17f	comment	Playing a wizard specializing in necromancy, or "Necromancer", first became an option in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition; whilst the ability to animate corpses as skeletons or zombies had appeared much earlier, and NPC classes for the archetype had appeared in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition ruleset in the pages of Dragon #76 and Polyhedron #28, this was the first edition to place it into player's hands. Mechanically, the Necromancer was no different to any of the other Specialist Wizards in the player's handbook; it had some minor spellcasting bonuses with its favored school, and in return gave up access to all spells and magic items of its "opposition" school; Illusion. Clerical necromancers also became fully defined in this edition, with he fundamental principle being that wizardly necromancers have more offensive spells, but clerical necromancers are better able to battle the undead and could, depending on the cleric, also subjugate "free-roaming" undead instead of having to create their own. 2nd edition also saw the release of a sourcebook called "The Complete Necromancer's Handbook", which provided a large array of new optional mechanics and lore for both wizardly and clerical necromancers. This book officially divided necromancy into three schools; White Necromancy for healing and banishing the undead; Gray Necromancy for animating the dead; and Black Necromancy for inflicting death and disease. Variants of the necromancer archetype also appeared in settings for 2nd edition. Dark Sun featured the Athasian Necromancer, who drew their magical energy from The Gray rather than depleting the planet of its already exhausted life-force, ironically making them less evil. Ravenloft featured the Arcanist; a wizard specialized in dark and unwholesome lore, giving them the combined abilities of a Diviner and Necromancer, plus the cleric's ability to Turn and Command Undead, at the cost of almost all offensive spells and the fact that Ravenloft was a setting where neither school was practical.

Pop-up boxes featuring story snippets tell how the necromancers raze whole villages and then raise the bodies of adults as zombies or skeletons (a theme central to one campaign in the first expansion, and connected with most campaigns in the second). That said, necromancers are hardly the worst people that can be found, and at least some of them seem to keep some measure of ethical compass. As a town, necromancers were introduced by Heroes II. They were aligned with Archibald, the... not so good... candidate for the throne of Enroth. The associated RPGs go into more detail about necromancy in the setting. It is made clear that necromancy and the greater category of Dark Magic it falls under is not itself really evil, but that it has enough of a reputation and association with evil that most people that master it lie on that side of things — if nothing else by having to associate with such people to learn from them.

Necromancer / int_dea37b6c	comment	Ironclaw: Necromancy is banned because the spirits summoned to perform such spells have a chance of doing things like reanimating random corpses or possessing people. Archvillainess Lady Amalsand Jakoba, widow of High King Don Rinaldi (whom she may have killed), is a necromancer, and her son Vaslov is rumored to be studying it as well as White Magic. It's worth noting that although inherently dangerous, it's not inherently evil — but evil people are obviously more likely to use it because they don't care about the danger it poses to others.

They die for real as soon as the paper is taken out, but in the meantime, they live exactly to the constraints of the paper (meaning if you forget to, say, write down that you still want to see colors or actually feel things, your undead life won't be very pleasant).

Necromancer / int_e5dc17d8	comment	The MMO Rift also has Necromancers as one of the mage souls (classes). The backstory is that the soul comes from a heroic necromancer named Corthana. She had been kidnapped by the evil cult necromancers. She learned the magic of necromancy from them but was clever and took out all the parts that Regulos had snuck in to brainwash them into being his evil minions. When her paladin brother busts in to save her, she turns on the cultists, slaughters them with their own magic, and even tore out her own blood to heal her brother when he was injured. But as they fled, Regulos' high priest caught up with them and slew her brother, and in her rage she became an avatar of a lich and avenged him right then and there. By the time the game takes place in, her heroic deeds have redeemed the art of necromancy and the necromancer players are even praised for continuing her legacy (especially as Ascended necromancers seem to actually possess her knowledge and memories.) Necromancers, if not evil, are unfortunately easily corrupted and quick to succumb to megalomanium, this is why the art is still frowned upon, even though it's not an outright horrible thing for someone to do.

Stein) is a genius chemist and a master of hypnosis who can use a special serum to hypnotyze corpses and make them move and talk even after death. The doctor himself is a living corpse who needs to hypnotyze himself every now and then to recharge the effect and can even animate mutilated body parts for mundane tasks (such as using a pair of disembodied hands to cut up the food for him while he dines). Lupin tricks him by pretending to be affected by his serum and shooting out the lights of the room as Frank's hypnosis is about to run off, so that he can't see himself in the mirror for the self hypnosis.

Necromancer / int_ef8bd4a5	comment	Mega Man: Mega Man X6's Metal Shark Player was skilled at analyzing and controlling DNA. Eventually, Player's investigation led him to experiment in the recreation of Reploids using the DNA of retired Mavericks. As "DNA Resurrection" was deemed illegal by the government, he was hunted down and destroyed. Later, Gate (himself a working practitioner of the art, which makes this a case of a Necromancer being revived by another Necromancer) revived him as part of his team and sent him to oversee the recycling plant where Player used to work. Gameplay wise, Player is able to summon indestructible clones of past bosses (Sting Chameleon, Magna Centipede and Blast Hornet) to attack X/Zero. Gate himself is a notable example as well, having presumably learned it from Metal Shark Player before his demise since he actually encouraged Player's work. When Gate went off the deep end from exposure to the Zero Virus, he put it to good use. The eight Nightmare Investigators were all Reploids (the majority of them created by Gate himself) who had died some time before the events of X6, most of whom were declared Maverick unjustly or killed in "accidents." Gate even brought Sigma back to life as a last resort to defeat X and Zero, but (un)fortunately Sigma Came Back Wrong due to not being completed and betrayed him first. Mega Man Zero: Dr. Weil was a human scientist who unlocked the secrets of "DNA Resurrection" himself and used it extensively. In the third game, he revived Copy X to serve as his Puppet King, revived three bosses from the first game to fight Zero, revived the Eight Judges for the Boss Rush, later revived the Eight Einherjar of the fourth game for their Boss Rush, revived the Eight Judges again for one of his attacks during his boss fight, and as Model W of Mega Man ZX, revived the fallen Pseudoroids of both games for their respective Boss Rushes.

Necromancer / int_f10619d8	comment	Subverted in Tales of the Abyss. While he is known throughout the world as The Necromancer, Jade never re-animated corpses. He did invent a technology, called fomicry, that could create perfect copies of people, including the recently deceased. The replicas of his human test subjects retained no memories of their originals so Jade eventually gave up on fomicry as a means of raising the dead. It doesn't help his image that he used to collect the remains of dead soldiers to further his work. In a way he's a Deconstruction of the Necromancer trope, examining exactly what a human being would have to be in order to raise the dead. Jade is basically a sociopath, and, at least at the start of the game, has a complete disregard for the sanctity of life. In his own words, he doesn't understand what it means for people to die — probably why he tried to resurrect his dead Professor. If death meant nothing to him, as it would to any Necromancer, he wouldn't realize the consequences of something as drastic as fomicry. The consequences of Jade's disregard for the natural order of things include basically the rest of the plot — fomicry both creates the main character, who is a replica, and gives the Big Bad the means to complete his evil plan of destroying and resurrecting the entire planet.

Necromancer / int_f130873e	comment	The second expansion to Age of Wonders 3 introduces the Necromancer leader class which reads a bit like a trope check list. Undead minions that are weak to fire and spirit damage? Check. Ability to raise enemy corpses as cannon fodder? Check. Ability to turn your leader and hero's into undead? Check. Soul Jar that causes your leader to re-spawn the next turn rather than the three turn delay other leaders have to suffer? Check and mate. It is however kept from being a Game-Breaker due to the fact that undead cities are not affected by happiness bonuses to production giving Necromancers a weak economy, and that undead units don't heal under normal circumstances. Interestingly also averts the "Necromancers are evil" bit. Necromancers start every game neutral like all leaders and its up to the player do decide how they are going to play. Its even possible to make a necromancer that specializes in Creation Magic. Having said that most spells with a good alignment specifically wont work on the undead, where as most of the spells that do are evil aligned. Also you HAVE to convert cities you obtain to undead to control them, which counts toward evil.
