  Necromancy in fiction and in popular culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Necromancers are, in rare cases, capable of raising the dead or restoring vitality to the living, though in some cases the life energy involved must be transferred from another living creature.
Necromancers are required to obtain legal rights to any remains they use for their activities, usually through prehumous agreement with the deceased or a posthumous agreement with their family or similar.
Necromancers, utilizing the powers of the Void, have the unique ability to summon multiple undead pets, command the loyalty of pre-existing undead creatures, wield unholy magic, strip a character of their buff spells, and become invisible.

Necromancers are deeply embedded in High Fantasy, often as an evil and insidious character who raises the dead to do his bidding—often for dark purposes.
Necromancers have quite a few abilities that they can put to use in Vanguard and they should be an exciting class to play for those interested in pet-based classes, or someone interested in a solid arcane-based class.

The Necromancer can inflict pain, pestilence, cold, and vile curses against their hapless foes, and in the battle's aftermath animate their lifeless corpses into undead horrors that viciously attack any creature, dead or alive.
But the Necromancer does not stop at simply animating corpses, for he can transform his very being into some of these forms, gaining both their powers and weaknesses.
Necromancers will be able to use any of 16 evil spells, alone or in conjunction with other powerful magic.

 Necromancer
Necromancer adventurers, although usually hated and loathed by companions, travel with groups in the hopes of recovering ancient manuals, such as copies of the Liber Mortis, and reagents deep within the bowels of the earth to assist in their research.
A Necromancer trains by donating the required amount of Gold to the coffers of the Necromancer Lord who is present at the Sanctum, and then spends 1 day in isolation away from the other Necromancers, reading from the pages of such ill-famed dark tomes as the Liber Mortis and the Cursed Book.
The Necromancer leaps to the side and his own sword whips to meet the other weapon, fully expecting it to be smashed by the sheer power behind the Daemon’s attack.

 Classes of Camelot - Classes - Necromancer
Necromancers are a cloth-armor wearing/staff wielding spellcasting class that are the priest class of Arawn, lord of the underworld.
While in shade form, the necromancer is caught somewhere between the land of the living, and the underworld, and cannot be harmed physically or magically until his bond with his minion is broken.
The only way to force a necromancer to break this bond is to kill his pet, making the necromancer invulnerable while he commands the dead, but extremely weak once that bond is broken.

Some necromancers are at their best when fighting off waves of enemies...then resurrecting them as zombie thralls, then profiting from the deaths of their own minions, then raising a new army...

 Rules for Necromancer Tradition
A necromancer considers Death to be the great Undiscovered Country, and looks forward to the day when he will walk the path that leads to it.
However, necromancers have such an intense psychological abhorrence to life that they are vulnerable to elements that propogate it, such as light and heat.
If the necromancer fails in the Place of Spirits, then that means he has brought himself to the attention of a particular wraith, a situation that could be harmful to the necromancer in the future.

 Necromancy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The probable reason that these renegade so-called Necromancers were dabbling in the dark arts is that the evolution of "natural" magic and "spiritual" magic was slow.
In the wake of these inconsistencies of judgment, necromancers, sorcerers and witches were able to utilize spells with holy names with impunity, as biblical references in such rituals could be construed as prayers as opposed to spells.
Necromancers in fiction are often depicted as a type of wizard that summons demons and corpses instead of spells, and has them fully under his control.

 Metal-Rules.com: Interview with Necromancer
For me personally, the Finnish Speed/Thrash merchants Necromancer were without a bloody doubt the one that made the strongest impact on me. This was probably a result of them sounding nearest to my all time favorite band, Slayer.
This fall, after nearly 12 years, Necromancer has gathered to bring back life to the long time buried but still undead...The rejoining event was most satisfactory and the good old tunes emerged from the collective spine, very alive and headbanging, spiced by elapsed time and gained experience.
Necromancer have come back and are obviously full of excitement and a sparkling hunger for possibly playing some gigs again.

Now, with the introduction of the Expansion, the Necromancer is a dying breed.
There were a lot of people with already well-established necromancers who saw that their characters were now pretty weak and they simply threw them away.
However, to build a duelling Necromancer you'll have to look elsewhere (mainly because I really, really suck at duelling and any advice from me on that subject is probably going to get you killed).

A successful Necromancer will rely on his minions, curses, and attack skills in concert to deal a variety of damage, wearing down multiple targets at once.

After having been flogged to death the thread may have been deceased for many years, and bringing it back may have scant relevance to the current topic, yet Necromancer will unexpectedly exhume the thread’s rotting corpse, and strike horror in the forum as its grotesque form lurches into the discussion.
The monster, instantly recognized by all who knew it in life, seems at first to breathe and have a pulse, but, alas, it is beyond Necromancer’s skill to fully restore the thread’s original vitality.
Unlike Archivist, Necromancer compulsively saves every forum message in carefully preserved archives for future use in battle, while Necromancer collects departed threads merely for the thrill of resurrecting them.
