~About The Necromancer~
From the steamy recesses of the southern swamps comes a figure cloaked in mystery. The Necromancer, as his name implies, is an unseemly form of sorcerer whose spells deal with the raising of the dead and the summoning and control of various creatures for his purposes. Though his goals are often aligned with those of the forces of Light, some do not think that these ends can justify his foul means. Long hours of study in dank mausolea have made his skin pale and corpselike, his figure, skeletal. Most people shun him for his peculiar looks and ways, but none doubt the power of the Necromancer, for it is the stuff of nightmares.

Each time the bone spirit hits an enemy, it will steal 1/3 of its hit points. This spell uses hit points as opposed to mana.
General Notes:
The Necromancer is the origional warrior of evil. He will specialize in indirect attacks. He will summon creatures from beyond the grave to fight as his minions or create armies of golems. He will have a few direct attacks such as "Teeth" or his sieries of poison attacks. The Necromancer will be the most difficult character to start with by far because of his lack of direct attacks and his reliance on sommoning. He will have low hit points and a decent amount of mana, but the creatures he creates or summons will reflect his frailty, so save a lot and expect to die plenty.
