Talk:Necromancer (Oblivion)

So where are the good Necromancers?

I understand the necromancy is a frowned upon art and an illegal one in Vvardenfell, at least. It makes sense: the exhuming and descrating the dead is disrespectful and in Vvardenfell they entomb their ancestors, though those ancestors seem to still haunt their own tombs in order to protect them.

But why does this necessarily mean that those who practice it are evil? With powerful necromancy a mage could be in battle and reanimate the corpses of vanquished enemies to bolster their own ranks for a short time. How many soldiers would disagree with that?
