Necromancy and those that practice it

Nickeris86:
my own necromancer story is flopping like  dead fish in my head. i think i am going to right a sword a sorcery version first before i try the urban fantasy one. (not living in the city i want to base in it is becoming much more of a hindrance than i thought it was going to be.)

Marrik Broom:

so for those who do have necromancers (good or bad) what kind of abilities do you give them.

Wel Marrik's someone I've tried setting up as one goingagainst hte dark and dreary stereotype, which is tough since the spells that are geared to working with taken energy rather than innate/elemental magic tends to have the skulls and shadow motif.

However as he has grown up a farmer one of the earliest bits of research he did netted a way to draw from weeds, insects, and even the body's own dying cells. Doesn't provide the raw power as a human (killed by your own hands is even more energy. Highest amount of power gained is from a willing sacrifice... on the idea that there's no resistance or struggle to take.)

Doesn't help the world's outlook on necromancy that his great grandfather tried becoming a god... and more or less broke the world in the process.

He's not an investigator or anything, though he does help local guards with cases. He sells stuff, researches when he can... he just keeps getting drawn into different problems and can't find a way out without being involved.
