Necromancy
Necromancy is the dark art of death magick. At the lower levels, there is an
assortment of rather nefarious abilities. Soon though, the ability of
Cannibalism is gained, a skill which has inspired wide-spread fear of those
practicing Necromancy. Through cannibalism, a Necromancer increases his life
essence, which powers the higher abilities.
