Necromancer (Skyrim)

Necromancers are mages who specialize in the conjuration of undead creatures.
==Equipment and combat==
Necromancers wear robes that increase the regeneration of magicka by 75%; when disenchanted, these robes allow the Dragonborn to learn the Fortify Magicka regeneration enchantment. When forced into close-quarters combat and/or when their magicka pool is completely drained, they will use iron daggers or iron maces. At higher levels, they will use a steel dagger or a steel mace instead. At the highest levels, they will move on to orcish weapons.
Above Level 81, Ascendant Necromancers spawned with console commands will sometimes wear Ancient Nord Armor instead.
During combat, Necromancers immediately reanimate any corpses nearby, then flee from melee range and use Sparks, Flames, or Frostbite. They may also cast Conjure Flame Atronach instead of reanimating the dead, if there are not any corpses within the area.

==Quotes==
*"Another soul for the master!" — During "The Black Star"
==Trivia==
*Unlike their equivalent in Oblivion, they do not conjure skeletons from thin air.
* Tested with Creation Kit: if a Necromancer is being summoned via Conjuration spells, they can also reanimate other entities despite being a summoned entity themselves. However, they cannot conjure other entities.
