Some see it as if though the school of necromancy is evil, that is mere superstition however, and those who truly believe it to be so, are those who see the world in black and white, but any practicing scholar will see that the world is not in black and white, but in different shades of grey, some darker, some lighter.

As to why necromancy is not evil, can be easily explained by telling folks that most people practicing necromancers merely call upon energies from the negative energy plane, which is not a plane of evil, nor good, but merely a plane of existence.

But, if a necromancer calls upon that energy, from that very plane in order to commit acts of villainy or for darker purposes, it not the very art of necromancy that we all should blame, seeing as any school of magic could be called upon to commit similar acts of evil.

However, necromancy can be immoral, as it can also be called upon for different purposes then to harm someone physically as well as mentally.

These "subschools" to necromancy are; Summoning/Conjuring Undead. as well as Bewitching/Cursing.

However there are many more "subschools" to necromancy, those that most practitioners of the art does not deem immoral, mere examples are;

Death Magic as well as Evocational Necromancy

I, myself, have proudly mastered the first of those two examples.

This is also slightly immoral, considering the fact that someones life, as well as afterlife is their own, and should remain that way, unless having provoked their own death through certain acts.

That, and only in event of that, do I call upon Death Magic to bring down on any foes of mine, and that is also the reason why I deem it non-immoral.

Now, some of you might see it as if though the immoral "subschools", as well as sometimes forbidden ones, can also be called upon for similar acts of "righteousness", but facts are, that disturbing someones eternal slumber and then afterwards having them conjured as mere mindless minions is, never to accepted as morally right.

And, as to Bewitching/Cursing, causing such permanent (although curable) physical as well as mental "marks" on someone, is perhaps not such a harsh deed done, but is deemed, however, immoral.

There is a simple reason as to why I've written this book, and that is as to enlighten people about the moral perspectives of the School of Necromancy, so that hopefully, one day, most of the superstition is to be rid, and that commoners as well as nobles alike will not be so hasteful in judging people due to the fact that their chosen school of study is that of Necromancy.
