Necromancer

Necromancer is a Mage specialization in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
== Description ==
These mages specialize in binding the spirits that are drawn to death. According to Solas, a necromancer is actually binding wisps too simple to be considered spirits. Cole claims that the necromancer draws "pieces" that could become spirits from the Fade and that energy is used for the necromancer's spells. They can put the fear of death into enemies, bring spirits to fight on their behalf, and even cause devastating explosions when their enemies die.
Power of the Dead and Death Siphon are passives that strengthen you the more your enemies fall. With Blinding Terror's damage bonus against panicked enemies, the necromancer tree synergizes well with Inferno abilities whose AoE spells incinerate packed enemies in choke points and also inflict fear effects.
== Acquisition ==
This specialization is obtainable through the quest Way of the Necromancer, obtained from Viuus Anaxas.

== Notes ==
* Although it has no practical consequences, Josephine warns that the reputation of necromancy is bad enough that she will avoid the topic as much as she can diplomatically. Cassandra is also negative about it, but stops short of officially disapproving. Solas will or of the Inquisitor's motivations, but not their overall choice, and points out that Dorian uses similar magic. Dorian himself, interestingly, doesn't comment on the Inquisitor's decision, despite having the Necromancer specialization himself.
* Blackwall and Cole will both upon talking to them, but will if you say it helps in combat or apologize, respectively.
* According to Mary Kirby, Necromancy qualifies as blood magic. However, Viuus Anaxas directly opposes the suggestion that necromancy is blood magic, pointing out that blood magic consumes life, manipulating and destroying the living, while necromancy honours life by venerating the dead.Viuus Anaxas/Dialogue
* Trick Weekes has since clarified that necromancy and blood magic are two different practices, though some necromantic practices can make use of blood magic. 
* According to Trick Weekes, the Necromancy skills work directly with spirits or low-level spirit-like entities. Necromancy does not bring the dead back to life.
