Necromancy

Necromancy is a type of magic that works through the energy of the dead, such as ghosts and ghouls.
== Details ==
Necromancy is considered a stable form of magic, and the Cabal used to be trained in it, before deliberately letting that knowledge fall away.Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 10.” The Virtu, Ace Books, New York, 2007. The Doctrine of Labyrinths. Caballine wizards used the dead, particularly the members of the Cordelii crypt, whose deaths formed a foundation for the Virtu. Necromancy is currently heresy in the Mirador. The Ceourterre does not practice necromancy, but built their theories to accommodate it.Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 8.” The Mirador, Ace Books, New York, 2008. The Doctrine of Labyrinths. 
Some necromancers reside in Scaffelgreen.Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 3.” Mélusine, Ace, New York, 2005. The Doctrine of Labyrinths. 
Necromancy “works most strongly upon the newly dead. And most enduringly upon those who died by violence.”Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 11.” The Virtu, Ace Books, New York, 2007. The Doctrine of Labyrinths. Cemeteries are the strongest but most dangerous places for necromancy.Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 16.” The Mirador, Ace Books, New York, 2008. The Doctrine of Labyrinths. The second strongest place is a crossroads.
