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 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 (albeit unable to dodge their bolt spells).
- While Necromancy might be their obvious strong suit, don't underestimate the punch of their various bolt spells, which they will be all too happy to fire through the ranks of their undead minions.
History
- In 0.19, necromancers gained Bind Souls.
- Prior to 0.17, they were able to cast Animate Dead, Inner Flame, and Simulacrum.
