Necromancy

Necromancy is a school of magic in Haven that is associated with the reanimation of the dead. It is considered by most to be an "evil" school of magic, and has been outlawed and denounced by the Empire, Sacillum, and also the Arcane University. The art of Necromancy was developed by the High Elf - Dark Lord Limryn upon his attack on the heavens and impending corruption.

Now Necromancy can only be learned in two ways. The first is by studying one of the various magical tomes written by Necromancers past, which contain the knowledge and ability to perform the rituals. The second is by learning Demonology and summoning a demon or wraith from the vale to teach you the art. The latter way is much more difficult, but bears greater results.

Abilities Associated With Necromancy

 * Being able to reanimate deceased corpses. This is the largest power that comes with Necromancy. Master Necromancers are able to not only give great power and ability to the dead that they raise, but they are also able to raise armies of undead soldiers in short periods of time. Undead are expendable, capable, and pre-trained soldiers.
 * Also, master Necromancers are able to turn themselves into extremely powerful, immortal undead. This process is time consuming, difficult and risky, but the results are great. Mages who self inflict death followed by reanimation are called Liches. A Lich is a force to be reckoned with, as it is a master-level mage who will be trained in all of the dark arts, and will also be able to access spells and powers that the living cannot. Immortal races rarely with to turn themselves unto Liches, as mortal races do it more often to achieve immortality.
