+Even from the start of his career, an inexperienced Necromancer
+can channel forces from the underworld to assault the mind of
+living creatures, therefore terrifying them. With little effort he
+can also learn the art of reanimating a dead corpse, turning it into
+an undead slave. It is only at a later point in his career that this
+foul mage learns to manipulate his life force as well, gaining the
+ability to absorb hit points from both living and dead opponents.
+The greatest Necromancers even gain the ability to survive their own
+death: when they should be killed, they instead turn into a ghostly
+being; they then receive a set number of Death Points, which are in
+all respects similar to hit points except that they go automatically
+down each turn. If the Necromancer manages to kill a certain number
+of creatures before his Death Points reach 0 he is returned to life;
+otherwise his will dissipates and he finally achieves true death.
