Necromancy is a projectile modifier that causes the corpses of enemies it kills to rise as corpses to assist you. These undead minions will follow you if you are nearby and can serve as meat shields and distractions against enemies. If you move too far away, it will instead idly float around. Resurrected corpses will have a purple glow.

Tips

• Resurrected enemies are still targeted by both the Homing Shots perk and Homing modifier. Additionally, they will take damage from your attacks and can block spell projectiles.
  • Piercing Shot can prevent spells from being blocked.
• Resurrected enemies have boosted health.
• Enemies that release novas or substances upon death, such as the Ice Skull and its Freezing Vapours, will drop an additional instance of their nova or substance when killed again.
• After being resurrected, enemies cannot be resurrected again when killed again by a spell with Necromancy.
• Resurrected enemies can pick up wands and will attack enemies. They will also attack you with picked up wands after damage is dealt to them.
• Resurrected enemies are immune to fire and will not be aggravated by your attacks dealing only fire damage.
• Enemies do not need to be killed by the Necromancy projectile to be resurrected. Damaging an enemy with the spell and quickly killing it with another wand will still create a minion.
• If an enemy is cut in half on death, such as with a Glowing Lance, the largest part will be reanimated.
• Resurrected enemies' bodies are easily reduced to further pieces and destroyed, like corpses, even by projectiles that normally don't deal hit point damage; the Remove Explosion modifier can help preserve their bodies, but may only work when projectiles are fired at a distance rather than point blank.
• Perks and spells that modify corpses, such as Freeze Charge solidifying them into Rigid Body and the Exploding Corpses perk, will not trigger.
• Parantajahiisi will heal resurrected Hiisi corpses (need to check for other corpses), which can be used to heal yourself rather safely.
