During an overload of creativity during the last three weeks of the summer vacation, my mind decided to come up with some sort of unique fantasy world....What I will post now is the basics of what I thought up for necromancy in this world...It is far more complex and in depth then what I post here, but I'm having problems getting it down on paper properly....One day I will probably explain about the actually world this takes place in >_>
Now, this is what I told a number of people through MSN, so it sounds a bit like a monologue at some points
Enjoy, and please comment in this thread

NECROMANCY
In my world, Necromancers are not evil mages bendt on raising the dead for their own purpose.....
(I'm not done yet, no)
They do technically raise the dead, though no individual necromancer controlls any legion of the dead
Instead, there is a "hive mind" of sorts, which originates from the source of necromantic power(the moon)
Necromancy works as follows:
To be a necromancer, you must first sacrifice your flesh and basically your life, those who sacrifice those willingly becomes part of the hive mind, and help make the "decissions"(sp?)
The way you do this is by basically jumping into what seems to be an enchanted tar pit
Which is actually just a "portal" leading to the source of their power
So those who dive in willingly keeps their mind, and not to mention their soul
However, those who do not willingly sacrifice their life, are taken to one of many "tar pits" and a special...."music" is played (violin or something i guess)
The victims, dead or alive, then "dance" into the tar pit, and they do not keep their mind or soul. And becomes nothing but mindless minions controlled by the "hive mind"
Their soul is consumed by the source and makes it more powerfull
Their mission is not to spread darkness and death wherever they go, but to create a pure uncorrupted world without lies, deceit, pain, hunger etc etc etc
So strangely enough for necro's they wear white
Thus the Necromancers are the most numerous when it comes to people to wield the power
(The moons is in this world the source of all elemental power and all that)
