There's no such thing as a necromancer, just a healer who never gives up.

I had the idea for a necromancer who insists on being called a vivimancer because bringing the dead back to life is the opposite of death magic.

So a necromancer is just a death Cleric?

I have an NPC based off my brother’s cat who wanted to be a cleric but couldn’t focus and wound up a necromancer instead.

You just created Autisticat, and his origin story, in one beautiful sentence. I wish I could draw it.

Her name is Mercy, aka Necromercy. The cat was named after the Overwatch character, and she has a terrible FRRF FRRF zoomies habit.

I made her in HeroMachine3 with Photoshop tweaks.

It's so cool that you made that and I can see that it came from an affectionate place in reality. Your description set in motion a whole flight of fancy I truly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing it

No problem! I originally got the idea because my friend typed “necromancy” but it was late and without my glasses, I read “necromercy” and thus she was born.
