Necromancy

Necromancy is the practice of resurrecting the dead through magic. Although various forms of necromancy have been shown, most only resurrect the subject as zombies or skeletons. Several methods restore emotion and memories with the person, which then become known as undead.
The Nether Horde is known to have necromancers within its ranks, and can create Netherkin — humans who have been demonically corrupted. Unlike being zombified, corruption can be reversed.
== Methods ==
=== Standard ===
Standard Revival will simply restore the function of the body and their muscle memory, but not their memories and emotions. The one who revived them will have complete control over the will of the target, being able to dictate their every motion. 
The 'undead tomes' allegedly possess the secrets to perfect this procedure.
=== Undead Lords Revivals ===
The Undead Lords - and a few Ender people - are somehow able to resurrect in a way that completely maintains their memories, powers and humanity, whilst also enhancing their bodies. Sadly, their eyes and general complexion may change, and whether they can revive on their own / how many times they can revive are a monopoly.
* Herobrine has only been known to revive once.
* Azalea is able to revive herself as many times as she wants.
* Purple Reaper was likely revived by Arabella.
* Dystopia and Dahlia-Sculkwing's revival methods are unknown.
=== Artifical ===
In an experiment into reversing the damage done by Herobrine, Lady Azura of the succeeded in creating a machine capable of reviving the recently-deceased. It does, however, come with some restrictions;
* Can only be used once.
* Target must be recently deceased.
* Target must be catatonic.
Side effects of revival from Artificial means include a change in eye colour and enhanced reflexes. It is unknown if there are any other side effects that exist, since the only person to be revived in this fashion is Rain Wynter.
=== Totem of Undying ===
A third way to be revived is via the Totem's of Undying, which will effectively restore ones vitality at the exact point it is used. Cosmetically, the revived person's skin and hair will turn greyscale, with their eyes turning electric blue or dulling completely. People revived in this manner will be functionally immortal, with their only weakness being decapitation or concentrated Ender magichttps://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/795858792143257631/1108373090116841562.
=== Demon Curse ===
Although not transforming someone into a Zombie or an Undead, the Demon Curse of the Nether functions in the exact same way as Necromancy, and is thus considered as such. By inflicting the poison via the blood stream, the inflicted will diehttps://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/795858792143257631/1136628206498226266, letting their body change before being revived by the poison as a Cursed Netherkin, losing their humanity and becoming feral in the process.
=== Other Methods ===
There are other, more vague methods of utilizing Necromancy, however, none have been properly identified on screen.

== History ==
==== To The Void ====
During To The Void, Arabella has brought back to life enderkins killed by her fleet or her soldiers who were being defeated. All of the undead who were brought back to life were under her control. Their look were not changed, except their eyes which turned white.
=== The Struggle ===
Residents of the Glacierford were changed into zombies by one bite from a infected human (zombie). Look of infected people were not changed, expect their eyes which turned red (iris) and black (sclera).
==== Cold as Ice ====
Necromancy was used by Azura to heal Rain, who had been turned into a zombie. To restore him, she used her machine and a golden apple. During the treatment, the golden apple disappeared and a now-healed Rain sat up, however the machine was destroyed. After the treatment, one of his eyes changed color and Rain got full self-control. 
==== Begin Again ====
In an off-screen scene, Naeus brought Abigail Crysteffor back to life. Afterwards, she became a Netherkin.
==== Wishing Dead ====
After being hit by one of the Djinn's Knives, Stella was brought back to life. After she became a Netherkin, horns had grown from her head, she had gained fangs and her eyes resembled eyes of those inflicted with the Zombie Virus.
==== Preach to the Choir ====
During the episode, Azalea revived her minions thorough using magic to attack Rain, Stella and Nostra. Later she was even revived herself after being killed by enchantress.
== Trivia ==
* There are tomes and books that teach Necromancy, such as Zarkos' Book.
* Artificial Revival is the closest way for one to be revived exactly as they were before, acting as a 'reverse' to Necromancy in a sense.
