Necromancy is a form of divination in which the practitioner seeks to summon the spirits of the dead, called "operative spirits" or "spirits of divination", in order to gain knowledge of future events from them. However, since the Middle Ages, necromancy has come to be associated more broadly with "black" magic and demon-summoning in general, sometimes losing its earlier, more specialized meaning.

Necromancy (Greek νεκÏομανÏία, nekromantÃa) is a form of divination in which the practitioner seeks to summon the spirits of the dead, called "operative spirits" or "spirits of divination", in order to gain knowledge of future events from them. The word necromancy derives from the Greek νεκÏÏÏ (nekrós), "dead", and μανÏεία (manteÃa), "divination". However, since the Middle Ages, necromancy has come to be associated more broadly with black magic and demon-summoning in general, sometimes losing its earlier, more specialized meaning.

It is someone who practices raising and controlling the dead. If you have ever played Diablo 2, that was one of the characters, and thats what you could do with him.
