Necromancy is a practice of magic involving communication with the dead – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events, discover hidden knowledge, to bring someone back from the dead, or to use the dead as a weapon. Sometimes referred to as "Death Magic", the term may also sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft.

It is considered by [[Oryx]]'s Hive to be a violation of the [[Sword-Logic]], and therefore forbidden; however, it has been employed by the heretical Hive Prince [[Nokris]], who was taught the secrets of necromancy by the Worm God [[Xol]].
