Necromancer

Primary Attribute: .........................Intellect (INT)

Secondary Attribute: ....................Wisdom (WIS)

The necromancer is a specific type of goetic (summoner) magus who specialises in summoning the dead. Necromancers are often portrayed as evil, but this is often not the case (a priest who performs an exorcism is technically using necromancy, so is a spiritualist medium who speaks to the dead).

The problem with necromancy is that there are some aspects of the art, with which it is best to remain ignorant for the sake of one’s soul, namely the binding of dead spirits to create undead. One may learn how to bind the spirit of a dead person or how to create undead, but it is the actual practise of such an art that brings perils. A roll is made immediately (and then every year thereafter) the first time such a spell is cast. There is a 10% x Magus’s ML that he or she will become Poorly Aspected.
