Necromancy

Necromancy is the forbidden art of reanimating the dead as undead. Necromancy is also considered a sub-school of Dark Magic. Almost every single religion in Artograch considers necromancy to be sinful (the Aeséni Religion is a notable exception), as it is deemed to be an act of desecrating the dead - thus, necromancy is illegal in almost every country, with the Republic of Keldorn being the most famous exception, a country founded specifically by practicioners of the forbidden art.

In addition to reanimating corpses, necromancy can be also used to enslave wrathful souls. Corpses need not to be in their original state to be reanimated - different bodies can be combined into various weird shapes and combinations before being reanimated as an undead chimera.
