Necromancer

From NecroWiki

Description

The necromancer is a mage derivative for those adventurers who have a background in the stealthy arts of the thief class. Necromancers feed off of the life force of their prey allowing them to regain lost mana. Like other mage classes, they are skilled in the arts of violent magic. They have a wide variety of offensive spells, but have trouble using any weapon with a long blade.

Necromancers can also capture the souls of certain slain enemies.
