Version 0.11: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

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 this skill, as do mummies upon reaching levels 13 and 26.

Using Necromancy has more consequences than other magical schools, 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, as does Fedhas Madash when it is used on corpses.
