Useful Info
Necromancers are evil casters of Necromancy and Conjurations, often found surrounded by derived undead minions. They usually appear in the Crypt and Vaults, the deeper portion of the Dungeon, or in one particular Ice Cave ending along with an army of simulacra.

Tips & Tricks
- Think of their Agony Range spell as somewhat like a single-target torment. Unlike torment, it requires line of effect and high willpower can negate it entirely; apart from that, you can take the sting out of it with negative energy resistance, while a potion of lignification will render you entirely immune.
- Watch out for the Bolt of Draining, which can pass through undead monsters harmlessly.
