Necromancy

Necromancy is a dark type of magic that few attempt. The most basic form of Necromancy involves raising a inanimate body and controlling it, though in order to have the body act on its own, one must tap into the soul realm in order to drain soul energy and attach it to the body. One of the most advanced forms of Necromancy is summoning an entire soul, and creating a whole person.

The Dreads
The Dreads Were a dark group of Necromancers who attempted to completely control the realm of Souls, thus having an amazing amount of power over life. They got close to this goal by using a gauntlet that was directly linked to the soul realm, and could tap into it at any point. However, all research stopped when they mysteriously disappeared on the island of Kawp. Many believe the werewolves there are actually the Dreads, turned into werewolves.
