The art of death magic, Necromancy is practised by members of the Apostate and Infernal classes. Once practised by the Occultist class as well, the skill was abandoned with the rediscovery of Occultism in the Modern Age. The ability to regain the life essence necessary to use Necromancy may be sealed from individuals by the Dread Ecclesiarch of Transvital Corruption, should they prove themselves to be directly against the ideals of the Lords of Evil. One who has undergone this process is said to be in anathema.
