Necromancy is the study of dark magic. With it, and a special book called the Tome of Necromancy, you can curse your foes, animate the dead, transform into wicked creatures, and summon some of the most deadly spells in the world.

To use the skill, you simply have to cast any of the spells available to you in the Tome of Necromancy. The more proficient you become at the skill, the more successful you will be at using the spells.
