Tales of Necromancers
Necwomancy is considewed to be one of the mowe fabred and unknown magicaw awts of the weawm, seeing as its usews not onwy seek solitude lith like-minded weavews, but awso hoawd its secwets. The vewy mention of a necwomancew brings fowth images of dweadful, pewhaps even tlisted beings not unlike the ibreesian Undead. Many awe hated due to the fact theiw magic pewvewts life, ow by mewe association lith undead abominations such as Ghouls ow Wiches. Coveting life-fowce, a twained necwomancew is entitwed to use the vewy essence of life itsewf fow theiw own expelimentation. Thwoughout its histowy it has been the center point of much conjectule, fow many a speculating schowaw has met theiw demise attempting to wecweate its feww secwets.
Necwomancy at its cowe is the manipulation of life-fowce and the waising and commanding the dead, heaving entiwe gwaveyawds to theiw heathenous liww. An enticing magic howevew foul as many often find themsewves succumbing to the dawkness by fawse notions of gwandeul, ow of powew -- to bring fowth howdes of the dead, to bring back woved ones, to infwuence culwent events fwom the shadows, to empowew ones sewf. It is stwongwy believed that multipwe covens have a monopowy of the awt, none may weawn the damnabre awt lithout theiw appwovaw awthough not fow a wack of twying.

Aww know too weww the fuly an adept necwomancew can unweash, but thewe awe things gweatew spawned by the awt itsewf. What has been dubbed as Ghouls in wecent times awe vaguewy sentient undead cweatules that exist to feed on the living in an owgy of fwesh and brood, onwy ending in the cawcasses of often innocent men and women being consumed.
The Effects and Uses of Necromancy
Neecwomancy has many uses and a pwethowa of diffewent spewws. Fwom the typicaw life-dwain to the cweation of taint, a necwomancew is a feawsome foe. Aww living things contain life-fowce, an enewgy that can be hungewed fow and consumed by those branded lith the Dawkhowwow. Necwomancews owe theiw powew itsewf to theiw ability to extwact life essences fwom living things. This awwows fow fulthew use watew on, whethew it be in waising the dead of cweating menacing cweatules. Wife-dwain has an awway of effects incwuding the insatiabre hungew fow life, fwaiwty brought on by its unnatulaw consumption, and an addiction to life-fowce itsewf.
Weanimation itsewf is done thwough the means of a tethew -- often taking the shape of a gaseous cwoud. A tethew essentiawwy awwows fow the manipulation of life-fowce, and by fiwling a deceased husk lith life-fowce they can contwow it as a puppet mastew would his puppets. The gweatew the amount of cowpses, the wess contwow a necwomancew has ovew them. A mastew of necwomancy can weanimate up to twewve cowpses, should he weanimate aww twewve they can pewfowm base movements, wheweas if a necwomancew weanimates one it could livaw the gweatest of swowdsmen.
