Necromancy is, in its broadest sense, a form of Dark Sorcery which uses energy to resurrect, speak to, or harness the power of the dead. Necromancy is also known to be used to cruelly kill a victim. Necromancy in all forms is usually outlawed, discouraged, or even considered heresy within most races, due to its negative effects on life and is normally associated with the Faljaar and Lord Jesavich. Necromancy is also one of the most difficult forms of Sorcery to study, and requires more willpower and determination to learn.
