Necromancy is a different school of magic than Magery. It is a dark art, that deals mostly with death and the dead. With a Necromancer Spellbook, called a Necronomicon, you can curse your foes, animate the dead, transform into wicked creatures, and more.
Becoming Undead:
Renounce Undead:
Forensic Evaluation is the main skill for a Necromancer, it is used to determine if and how effectively you can use the Necronomicon's Spells, search an area for Undead creatures, bodies, and Artifacts, allow you to collect souls from slain creatures, display how many souls you've collected, along with giving you the ability to Resurrect dead players.
Searching for Undead, Artifacts, and Soul Vault:
Resurrection:
Spirit Speak is an essential skill for a Necromancer since it is used as a damage modifier for all the Necronomicon's spells.
Undead Defense:
Healing:
Collecting Souls:
Caster PvP
2H Dexer PvP
Tank (Relies heavily on Vampiric Touch due to not having resist)
