+====== Necromancy (Magic Affinity) ======
+{{ rpd:images:necromancy_spell_icon.png|Necromancy Magic Affinity }}
+**Necromancy** is a magic affinity in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that encompasses a collection of necromantic spells primarily used by the [[en:rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] class. These spells typically consume souls as a resource and allow for undead summoning and manipulation.
+==== Description ====
+**Necromancy** is a magic affinity that provides access to various necromantic abilities that utilize souls collected through combat. It is a core mechanic of the [[en:rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] class, allowing the casting of spells that consume souls as a resource.
+==== Abilities ====
+The necromancy magic affinity includes the following key spells and abilities:
+  * [[en:rpd:summon_deathling_spell|Summon Deathling]]: Uses souls to summon an undead minion called a [[en:rpd:deathling_mob|Deathling]] that fights alongside the player
+  * [[en:rpd:raise_dead_spell|Raise Dead]]: Attempt to raise the latest slain creature as a temporary ally
+  * [[en:rpd:exhumation_spell|Exhumation]]: Create a corpse from a defeated enemy that can be used later
+  * [[en:rpd:dark_sacrifice_spell|Dark Sacrifice]]: Sacrifice an ally to gain souls
+  * [[en:rpd:possess_spell|Possess]]: Temporarily take control of an enemy (advanced ability)
+  * **Reincarnation**: A powerful ability that can sometimes save the Necromancer from death at the cost of all collected souls and possessions
+==== Mechanics ====
+  * The necromancy affinity operates on a **souls** resource system specific to the [[en:rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] class
+  * Different abilities require different amounts of souls to use
+  * [[en:rpd:soul_shard_item|Soul Shards]] and other items may supplement the soul resource
+  * The [[en:rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]] subclass typically increases soul capacity and necromantic power
+  * Most spells have a magic affinity designation of "Necromancy" which can be seen in their implementation
+==== Classes ====
+  * [[en:rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] - Primary class that uses necromancy spells
+  * [[en:rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]] - Subclass that enhances necromantic abilities
+==== Usage ====
+  * Essential for [[en:rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] class effectiveness
+  * Requires careful management of soul resources
+  * Often used to summon [[en:rpd:deathling_mob|Deathlings]] and other undead for combat support
+  * Strategic use of souls is key to necromantic gameplay
+==== Strategy ====
+Effective use of **Necromancy** abilities requires:
+  * Maintaining sufficient soul reserves for key abilities
+  * Prioritizing soul collection through combat
+  * Balancing offensive and defensive necromantic abilities
+  * Managing summoned undead minions effectively
+  * Understanding which spells are most beneficial in different combat scenarios
