Necromancer

A necromancer is an individual who practices necromancy, the dark art of communicating with the dead, often to gain knowledge, power, or control over them. This involves raising the spirits or souls of the deceased and employing them for various purposes, which are typically malevolent or self-serving. Necromancy frequently touches on black magic, occultism, and the forbidden, often delving into realms of the supernatural and the taboo. They delve in rituals and incantations, typically, aimed to bend the natural order between life and death. The morality of a necromancer is inherently questionable and their actions usually carry dire consequences for the living.
