"Though some might say there is not much point to turning the earth into one gigantic graveyard, these people are fools and will never understand anyway."
― Neil Zawacki, How to be a Villain
"The dead make good soldiers. They can't disobey orders, never surrender, and don't stop fighting when a random body part falls off."
― Nevinyrral, "Necromancer's Handbook", Magic: The Gathering

Capabilities

The user's magical abilities revolve around manipulating the dead, death, the death-force and/or souls for good (i.e., resurrecting the dead), evil (in various ways) or neither. Users can also use communicate with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge.

Many practitioners find a way to cheat death one way or another, whether by becoming some form of undead creature or by bypassing their own ability to die.
