Necromancy is art, and not like you see in the movies.

Arguably, this very site is necromancy.


Unironically this. It sounds retarded, but being an edgy necromancer will eventually result in the real deal.

Can you elaborate on what real necromancy is like?

Why being an ironic necromancer turn me into a real necromancer? Am I supposed to pretend to be a necromancer?

Using the internet and reading books is necromancy. Hope that helps.

I don't actually know who that is, but I doubt it's like real necromancy.

No it's not. You didn't help at all.

Aside from a long-time use of 'necromancy' to mean any black magic (conflated with 'nigromancy', no jokes please), it primarily refers to communication with spirits (particularly of the dead), ostensibly for use in divination. The most common version in modern use tends to be Spiritualist mediumship, so if anybody's curious about it I'd recommend starting there.

As far as literally raising the dead, I don't think that's possible unless you're a doctor or EMT.

I think he meant it’s like necromancy because we read the words of people who might be dead. Kind of a smartass answer.

I’m more interested in raising the dead. Speaking to the dead is cool though I guess.

Yes, admittedly, but that is exactly what I meant.
