A Necromancer is a practitioner of necromancy, a type of dark magic focused on manipulating life and death. Typically depicted as wielders of forbidden or occult knowledge, necromancers have the ability to summon and control the undead, such as zombies or skeletons, and communicate with spirits of the deceased. Their powers often include reanimating corpses, casting dark spells, and influencing the afterlife. Necromancers are commonly portrayed in fantasy and horror genres as figures who use their abilities to gain power, seek revenge, or uncover hidden knowledge.
