== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
'''Necromancy''' is a combat skill that focuses on creating undead and wielding dark magic. Most necromantic abilities will do '''no damage''' to undead enemies. Necromancers must have an item with a "Necromancy Gem" equipped, and they usually have to be in a graveyard to summon skeletons.
All skeleton-summon abilities require [[Necromancy Dust]] (Level 2 recipe). It is unknown if Necromancy will gain the ability to free-summon skeletons in the future. There are certain "designated" graveyards (examples are the main entrance of [[Serbule Crypt]], [[Eltibule Crypt]]), but otherwise a "graveyard" is any area with at least 3 player tombstones in close proximity (to be verified since the update modify summoning aspect of Necromancy. Once summoned, skeleton minions will be resummoned when you move to a different zone.
=== In-Game Description ===
Necromancy is control over the undead, along with other powers that trifle with mortality. To use necromantic abilities, you must be wielding or wearing a necromancy gem. You can often find these on weapons, and less often on pieces of armor. (If you are in a beast form, necromancy gems in weapons won't work, but ones in armor will.)
=== Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===<!-- A list of methods to learn and level the skill -->* The skill is learned by going into the [[Serbule Crypt]], defeating [[Khyrulek's True Form]] and delivering [[Symbols of Darkness|an item]] from the boss's drops to the [[Pulsing Crystal]]. When you do this, you will be given a "Necromancy Test Staff" and a "Necromancy Test Necklace". Both have necromancy gems in them, so you can choose one to equip and start using Necromancy. * [[Jumjab]] teaches '''Heart's Power''' 1-2, '''Wave of Darkness''' 1-5 '''No Longer Teaches Super Zombie skill merged into Raise Zombie''' * You can learn '''Spleen's Power''' from scrolls * [[Daniel Murderdark]] will unlock Necromancy 51-60, unlock 61-70, and teach level 51+ abilities* [[Bendith the Banished]] can unlock 71-80.* [[Zeratak]] will trade you a Necromancer's training staff for 4 brain bug lobes and 3 brains* Levels 81-90 may be unlocked by gaining favor with a mysterious entity deep beneath [[Povus]].== Connected Skills =======Sub-Skills:=====* [[Corpse Talking]]=====Secondary Skills:=====* None=====Related Skills:=====* None===== Synergy Levels =====Bonus [[Synergy Levels]] for [[Necromancy]] can be obtained from the following skills and levels::; [[Dying]]:: Level 20, and Level 30:; [[Giant Bat]]:: Level 16:; [[Incorporeal Creature Anatomy]]:: Level 26:; [[Paleontology]]:: Level 24, and Level 49:; [[Spirit Fox]]:: Level 29:; [[Undead Anatomy]]:: Level 19, and Level 49 == {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Basic Abilities==As you level {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}, you will learn the following abilities:{| class="sortable" style="width:100%; border:1px solid silver;margin:0 0 1em;" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" rules=all|- style="background: #ec81bf;"! align="left" style="width:200px" | <span style="cursor: pointer;">'''Ability'''</span> ! align="left" style="width:80px;" | <span style="cursor: pointer;">'''Req.
