"A dark magic-user who commands the dead. Their powerful magical attacks are a thing to fear."
Overview[]
Specializes in boosting the Undead units & zombies with Necromancy being the only way to heal such units. Necromancers are essentially improved Wizards, boasting significantly higher INT to go with their unique Necromancy command. Necromancy is nearly unobtainable until the Palace of the Dead, but once gotten it offers a fairly interesting variety of effects. While the 'Curse' series is of dubious use, 'Life Force' turns the Necromancer into a potent self sustained caster and 'Horrific Love' can be very powerful, even though the Bewitched status seems to be much less effective when used by the player. This is the fastest mage type in the game in terms of RT. Necromancers are good if you are enthusiastic about having your own undead army, but even without Undead units or Necromancy this class largely surpasses the Wizard, being an effective mage in several ways.
