Necromancer

When an organisms biological functions cease, it is considered dead. However, it can happen that dead organisms return to life, or lifelike activity through various means. This phenomenon is known as undead reanimation, when the reanimation is caused by magic, it is known as necromancy. 
The most common form of natural undead reanimation is when a biological entity dies, and its animi remains in the body for a time, preventing effective necromancy until the animi have departed, and only the body remains. Once the animi have left the body, it is up to the Necromancer to raise the undead.
