Necromancy is a type of magic that involves communicating with the dead. Practitioners, often called necromancers, believe they can summon spirits or even raise the dead to gain knowledge or power. This practice has been depicted in various cultures and stories, often associated with dark or forbidden arts. In many tales, necromancers are portrayed as mysterious figures who can manipulate life and death. They might use spells, rituals, or special objects like crystals or tomes to perform their magic. While often seen as evil, some stories depict them as misunderstood or seeking to uncover hidden truths about the afterlife.
