Fourth Generation Necromancy; The Silenced Awakened
Among the Dark Arts, perhaps the one most reformed is that of Necromancy. From leeching off the dark powers of Iblees, the utilization of obelisks, and finally to the opening up of a hollow within one's soul, the magic has continuously strived to adapt to circumstances. The newest discovery of Necromancy is that it does not alter the soul or force body disfigurations of non-active users.
Necromancy is still the art of manipulating life-force serving the will of a necromancer in manners unique to themselves, which include the likes of resurrection, tainting, and ceremonial rites.
Necromancer’s Rebirth
Stillness spread throughout the grounds, an ebony fog creeping through with silent whispers of the native wildlife still and silent - the place being over the harrowed ground, torn and mounds of dirt overlap each other in a spiral towards the center of the land where two stands. The arch-necromancer and apprentice.
"Death: a stepping stone one tries to overcome though never to risk one's own life. Where you differ- though you too will come close to it." the necromancer states as a blackened mist would begin to develop over his fingers, coiling around them like a serpent.
"For one to overcome this, you have to perish and hope your will is strong to awaken darkness in you to keep living." The mist would begin to join like a union to his skin, staining the hand black before the necromancer places it upon the apprentice's chest. The fog would dance from his hand to the newcomer's body and entwine over their chest. The veins and arteries bulge out of the skin with an unmistakable hue of black surging through them.
The arch-necromancer pulls his hand away as the trailing mist continues to latch onto the apprentice's body before eventually breaking. The necromancer then steps back. "I have taken a piece of you, and now will teach you how to get that piece back."
Necromancy is one of the forbidden forms of magic a person has been able to learn from the beginning to the present. It has always been around through the manipulation of life and death, weaving through the principle of man. Though as previous necromancy permits, a new nature of necromancy has been founded and arisen to take hold of the future generations. The practice of necromancy would no longer require the opening of an entity inside one's body, but rather through the practice of learning how to weave your fingers through manipulating life-force.
The creation of a new-necromancer through this passage of learning requires flexibility in the apprentice's mind and body so they may understand the fundamental principle of necromancy and the way the magic is used to manipulate the life-force all around them to twist into their desires.
