Limiting Skill: Expert Skill (Thanatology) (p. B194)
Necromancy is the art of forcing the spirit or soul into a deceased corporeal form. Though originally used as something of a means to communicate with the dead, Necromancy is also used to animate corpses, ostensibly to serve the Practitioner. Proficient users can even restore (or force) sentience to a corpse, creating ghouls and wights. The ultimate expression of Necromancy is the ability to become a liche, vastly extending the practitioner’s existence with his mind more or less intact, though in a rotting, undead form.
Practitioners of Necromancy are known as Necromancers. Necromancy relies on a combination of the Emanations of Sorcery and Nature Magic. Needless to say, the practice of Necromancy is reviled in most civilized and savage cultures alike, perhaps even moreso than the practice of Sorcery itself.
