	''Magicians on the other hand, acted as free agents who could perform any number of miracles for a price. Chief among these miracles was opening up communications between the world of the living and the dead. As such, the dead were believed to lie outside of time and could see the past, present and future equally. Thus the dead could and did warn their living descendants of impending calamities and future opportunities by which the family could profit. Based on culture and point of view, necromancers could do other equally miraculous things. Through intercession with the spirits of the dead, the living could also curse their enemies or enchant a prospective sexual partner. As time passed, other darker miracles came to be the province of necromancy and the wise necromancer learned not only how to summon the dead, but how to ward against their intrusion and when to make bribes to the dead in the form of living sacrifices.''

	''After the advent of monotheism, necromancy took on a much darker cast and was demonized along with the remnants of previous religions. The spread of monotheism wiped out those religions that granted necromantic powers to its priesthoods and in the same action eliminated any sanctioned use of necromancy, making the lay necromancer not only a criminal of the worst sort, but ~~created~~ a black-market for necromantic services that had no legitimate practitioners. This situation remained the norm from the fall of the Western Roman empire into the twenty-first century. Ironically, during this period, most necromancers came from the ranks of the clergy or would be clergy. It became ideal for the necromancer to be a defrocked priest and preferable a demon-worshiper.
