== {{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 besides '''Free-Summon Skeletal Archer''' require a Femur [[Necromancy Dust]] (Free-Summon requires a Humanoid skullLevel 2 recipe). It is unknown if Necromancy will gain the ability to free-summon other types of skeletons in the future. For now, the normal summon requires the player to be in a graveyard. 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, but if they die they are gone until resummoned at a graveyard.
