[edit] Introduction

A Necromancer is a studier of necromancy; talking to, and sometimes raising, the dead. They are usually followers of Zamorak, as the practise of necromancy is considered evil. The animation of undead such as Skeletons and Zombies are the usual fare for necromancers. After the Missing My Mummy quest, Senliten suggests that necromancy is a corruption of the mummification process, and was widely used by the Mahjarrat.

• Some people have compared necromancy to Summoning, but according to Malignius Mortifer, the two have nothing in common.
