Necromancy

### Effect

### Practitioners

Necromancers

**Necromancy** utilizes magic involving the dead, death-force and/or souls. It is considered the opposite of Animancy and is known to be extremely difficult to master. This school of magic is the most feared and shunned within the Magus community. Users of these schools are extremely rare. Practitioners of this trade are known as *Necromancers*. The fear of Necromancers is the main reason many nations like Avalon have enacted anti-Magic laws.

The user's magical abilities revolve around manipulating the dead, death, the death-force and/or souls for good (i.e., resurrecting the dead), evil (in various ways) or neither. They can also communicate with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of Divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge.

Though it is not necessarily "evil" magic, Necromancy tends to focus toward destruction, harming, cursing and otherwise complicating the lives of other people while advancing the user's own state. Users often reject social convention and the status quo, which some suggest is in a search for spiritual freedom. As a part of this, they embrace magical techniques and practices that would traditionally be viewed as taboo and are generally willing to go farther than most would even consider if it serves their ends. Many practitioners find a way to cheat death one way or another, whether by becoming some form of undead creature or by bypassing their own ability to die.
