Necromancers

A Necromancer is a Mage Class specialized in death magic.

Background

Necromancers are Mages that reanimate the dead as undead and manipulate them as minions.

Powers and Abilities

Generally Necromancers lack many direct spells to attack their foes. High level necromancers are different of course, but the strength of death magic lies in minions and spells which sap energy. It is said that necromancy, above other schools of magic, is the mastery of preparation.

Low-level necromancer can bring down villages if they are given enough dead bodies, and they level fast when that happens.

Any Necromancer about Level 30 should be able to command a small horder of the Undead, although already existing ones; they wouldn't necessarily be able to raise a horde themselves. Furthermore, they would still be rather restricted. They would likely at best be able to direct them only in a general sense. Moreover, It would be difficult to prevent them from fighting or splintering off.
