A necromancer is a type of magician or sorcerer who is believed to have the ability to communicate with the dead. Often found in fantasy stories and folklore, necromancers can summon spirits or even raise the dead to serve them. They are typically portrayed as mysterious figures, sometimes using dark magic to achieve their goals. In many tales, necromancers are associated with graveyards and tombs, where they perform rituals to connect with the afterlife. While some stories depict them as villains seeking power, others show them as misunderstood characters trying to uncover secrets of the past.
