Overview

Necromancy is one of the powersets. It is a Mastermind primary power set.

Command the forces of Death. Necromancy allows you to summon undead henchmen to do your bidding. Some Necromancy powers can even grant your undead henchmen additional powers. Most Undead henchmen generally have good resistances to cold, negative energy, and psionic damage as well as sleep, fear and disorient. Undead Henchmen cannot be resurrected.

Perhaps it was even a Necromancer. Now it only hungers for the souls of the living, and is quite good at feeding itself. The Lich specializes in dark control and draining powers.

You can extract the soul from one of your defeated undead henchmen and summon its spectral essence to do your bidding. The power of the soul is dependent upon the type of undead henchman you extract it from; however, it will always be one level lower than you. Unlike your other henchmen, the extracted soul is only loosely bound to your control and will eventually move on to the next world. The soul cannot gain new powers with Enchant Undead or Dark Empowerment.
