"You need necromancy to fix a rotten board."

Highlight from a conversation about airship mechanics, and the way you can't just remove rot the same way you'd remove paint or bloodstains. See, rot isn't so much a thing that befouls a surface so much as a sign of what has occurred. Like burn marks.

You gotta regrow the damaged area, and we all know what branch of magic handles regrowing dead material.

("And that's above my pay grade," says the mechanic. "Or above board, if you'll pardon the pun.")

Look, being a necromancer isn't difficult

You pick a target, follow your ritual book as closely as possible, and remember not to revive anything you can't put down

It's that easy

See that? I have to wait for a hero to come and deal with that because I cannot rekill that dragon

I got an organ donor card and on my book that includes whole body uses like raising the dead

I suppose if a reanimated corpse was sentient, that would be necromancy rather than transmutation in your universe.

We were talking about the ethics and definitions of necromancy at work today. Consider this: animate objects is a transmutation spell, while animate dead is a necromancy spell. Is a corpse not just a person-shaped object?

Spells like revivify and resurrection are necromancy but reincarnate is considered transmutation.

I'm developing a wizard character who's whole deal is researching the reasons behind these classifications and is on thin ice with the ruling body of wizards because of how close the skirt the line of "necromancer"

In the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, it is stated that "Of all human opinions that is to be reputed the most foolish which deals with the belief in Necromancy, the sister of Alchemy, which gives birth to simple and natural things."

Sasori Mini Bang Part 1- Heart / Less Nov 7 Sasori’s heart was ripped out after the death of his parents. He gave it to his craft- his puppets. They were the product of the only tool he had to express himself. The village elders made sure of that.

I find it very odd that the Catholic Church does not have an Order of Necromancers.  Raising the dead should, essentially, be a sacramental rite, akin to the Passover ritual, in emulation of Christ Jesus who raised Lazarus.
