The Necromancy school of magic focuses on calling upon the unsavory power of death itself. It also influences how much bonus damage you can inflict with a pain branded weapon. Characters under the influence of the Necromutation spell (itself of the Necromancy school) receive a bonus to the power of Necromancy spells, as do mummies upon reaching levels 13 and 26.
The most obvious use for Necromancy is the creation of derived undead allies, though there are also several offensive and defensive spell options. It contains a very diverse spell set, and is quite a useful school of magic to study.
Using Necromancy has more consequences than other magical schools, however, as certain Necromancy spells have risks or side effects for the caster beyond the usual chance of miscasts. Necromancy is also considered unholy, and the good-aligned gods punish its use severely.

Undead Creation (0.29)
While the corpses you'll find on the ground are useless, certain undead-creating spells will destroy corpses when they take effect. Only one of these effects may apply per monster (in order of priority):[1]
However, all four effects will stack with Death Channel, meaning you can create up to 2 derived undead per enemy, or possibly more in the case of Simulacrum. Death Channel will work with all Necromancy spells, but not reaping from the brand or Yredelemnul.

History
- 0.29 Necromancy reworked to remove functional corpses. Added Necrotise, removed Animate Skeleton and Pain from players.
- 0.28 Added Anguish.
- 0.25 To focus more on melee support, removed Regeneration (leaving Vampiric Draining to regain health) and Bolt of Draining. Reduced range of Dispel Undead and Agony to 1. Corpse Rot clouds surround the caster instead of the corpses.
- Prior to 0.24, Fedhas forbid use of Necromancy, as it disturbed the natural cycle of corpses.
