Stats[]
Battle[]
The Necromancer's dangerous special attack, Zombie Stick, turns party members into zombies, and it uses the attack every other turn. If damaged by anything other than a physical attack, it has a chance to counter with Gravity or Graviga on the attacker. It is most dangerous when alone, when it has a chance to use Death, Flare, or Banish every turn, the latter capable of instantly killing the entire party. For this reason, it should be defeated first. Fira spells, Holy-elemental weapons, and Holy Water items, work best.

Etymology[]
Necromancy is a form of magic involving communication with the deceased—either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily—for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge. The term may sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft.
