Glossary Entry: Necromancy
Definition
Necromancy specifically refers to the types of magic that involve controlling or contacting the dead. For example, this is the type of magic that creates zombies and allows a medium to talk with the deceased.
Because this is a very broad category of magic, forms of necromancy do exist in real life. All of them are strongly (and often explicitly) condemned in the Bible.
Whether or not you're comfortable with using them in a fantasy game is entirely up to you.
