Necromancers have a mix of spells that allow them to create Undead Servants, debuff enemies and inflict modest damage. And while Necromancers do have a bad reputation, nothing about Necromancy is more or less corrupting then any other type of Magic. For starting spells, roll 1d12 on the table below and reroll duplicates. Spells 13 and 14 are rare, and as valuable as magic swords.
Necromancers also have the following Power which they can use at will, and the following Drawback that always affects them.
Power: Can cast Speak with Dead at will without rolling any Spellcasting Dice.
Drawback: You attract Undead like moths to a flame. Each day/week/month, you have a 1d10% chance equal to your level of attracting a free Undead. Undead enemies will always target you if they have the choice.

If cast with 2 [dice] or more, the spellcaster also takes damage from sunlight equal to [dice] for the duration.
Chaos and Corruption
When you roll doubles, roll on the Chaos table. The spell still works and goes through as if cast successfully. You receive 1d3 Doom Points.
When you roll triples, roll on the Corruption table. The spell automatically fails. You also receive 1d4 Doom Points.
At 10 Doom Points, you invoke the Doom of Fools.
At 20 Doom Points, you invoke the Doom of Kings.
At 30 Doom Points, you invoke the Ultimate Doom.
The tables can be found here.
Dooms
Doom of Fools. Become infected with a debilitating disease. It is non-contagious. You need to succeed two Con checks to be cured. You automatically fail your first Con check, as a result of the Doom. Two successful Con checks to recover. On a failure, take 1d4 con damage a day. If your Con hits zero, you die. Base DC is 15. Rest, food and sleep can give you bonuses, and adventuring, extra injury, and cold and damp can worsen the check. Lost Con restores itself a point a day once cured.
Doom of Kings: As above, but the base DC you need to pass is 18. The disease is now contagious. It has also worsened, and does 1d6 Con damage a day. All other rules still apply.
Ultimate Doom: As above, but the base DC everyone else needs to pass is 20. It is now super contagious. If infected, the disease does 1d8 Con damage for everyone who isn't you. But you will not need to bother making your check, as you fall desperately ill as soon as you get this disease. While others can recover, you will die in 1d20+4 hours.
This Doom is avoided by making a scapegoat when you become infected with the disease. For the scapegoat, it must be A, a worthy sacrifice (a human or another sentient, three-souled species) and B, that which will be sacrificed must willingly accept the title of scapegoat. Alternatively, you could avoid this Doom by becoming a Lich.
