We can use the power of the dead people to achieve what you want.
Of course, necromancy has nothing to do with "white" but also it is not always to do with death.
When you spoil the person, you use the special rituals on the cemetry but also if you want to get rid of the emotional attachment of one person to another or create it, special rituals with the cemtry are used.
Cemetry is very useful for the "black" side of business.
Im curious Wwizard and Deadend, did either of you read what I posed?
Necromancy isn't unnatural or against the natural order. The natural order of life is to eventually die. Necromancy is about exploring death to understand life, and moreso to understand the nature of the soul. People assume that summoning is all there is to necromancy, when infact it is a minority and less useful then many other aspects of the Art.
Necromancy doesn't raise the dead. It Can allow spirits to speak from either a person channeling, through an opened "window" or through another vessel approperiatly prepaired. It Does Not Bring Them Back To Life.
There is no such thing as light or dark magic, good or evil magic. It is a tool, and in a miserable person's hand will cause misery and vica versa.
One doesn't need "special rituals in a cemerary" to preform necromancy, nor is the practice specificly about "spoiling people or emotional attachments."
Any form of magic can be changed or used to harm or heal. Same with breaking or creating attachments. There Is no "white or black", there is intention and will. Energy in accordance with will and desire.
Calling one form of magic unnatural or condemming one form as "impure" over others is, to me, utterly foolish and a waste of time.
Of course there is no "black" and "white"-these are not discrete categories. Energy just IS.
And can be used either to create or destroy something.
However, most cemetry rituals are to do with asking the dead spirit to do what you want from him. And the question is how can you make "him"/"her" work for you.
Those who work with a cemetry know about it.
Again, have you even read Flagg's post? Also, one need not force the spirit of the dead to obey you. You can invoke rather than evoke, and simply invite the spirit to a conversation (more or less). In doing this you give it the option of backing out or refusing your request. It is generally considered far more polite.
As you said, magic is somewhat neutral. But if all you can think of is foul purposes for it, then by all means, stay away from Necromancy.
It is quite amusing that when people hear the word death or dead they asume its got to do with satanism or something evil and start to point out that its nasty and agaisnt the law of nature and what not.
But in reality they dont really understand the very aspects of death,unlike Flagg who posted a damn good explanation about what necromancy would be and the rest would only post infos about necromancy being nasty,twisted,vile and all that evil.
People there is no such thing as evil and good magic.Magic is neutral .
Evil and Good is just a * point of view * to some person it would look evil,but to the other it would look good.
Anybody with any interest in necromancy, be it practical or theoretical, should have a look at the link Flagg posted in his first comment, it is the most informative site ive seen so far on the topic of necromancy.
