Necromancy is pretty fuckin overused. I legit check out when a game or story goes down that route

Usually there is no reason for why a necromancer character should raise a dead character, unless like Alan Quatermass the dead character is needed again. As Painfactory states there must be a clear motive behind resurrecting the dead characters - if there is none, you have no motive, and should then back away from using a necromancer character.

i use arcanium, durilium, adamantium, titanium (mithril), on top of meteoric steel and a bunch of arcanium alloys

So here's an idea. The metal in question is not a naturally occuring metal. It is an alloy, of multiple different metals both common and rare. The weapons crafted with this metal have no greater durability, lightness, or anything like that, but they do have one EXTREMELY significant property. The soul of a person dispatched by such weapon, will be able to avoid the divine judgement, and gain themself a place in heaven. This makes it so that whenever a weapon of such make appears, people that posses great fortunes and power, will fight over the ownership of the item. Those weapons were known to be a catalyst to demise of entire kingdoms, therefore they're creation is strictly prohibited, and the secret of their manufacturing remains as one of the greatest secrets to the world.

In my story Necromancy isnt only magic. Its needed to conservate corpses, to prepare them und even to craft strong bodys fiting well for the unliving. To awake them with magic is only the last step.

Three awesome Necromancers: 1.Astoshan the Grey (DnD campaign PC, find story on RUclips). 2. Faust from Shaman King. 3. Liliana Vess (Mtg)

The way necromancers in my book work is by sacrificing their own life force to create a hollow mockery of it in corpses. The amount that they can do this is very limited

This is one of my biggest problems rn is the why and how i find myself overthinking and trying to keep things grounded but even in real life there is no structure and order i just cant decide how i want to throw in sci fi with fantasy

In Dwarf Fortress, the end result of most worlds that you let it generate a long history for, either undead take over the world, or they are exterminated completely. Usually the first one. The Undead just have more staying power, by definition.

Thank you! This video is so straightforward and helpful

Just remind me of Cristal Merrow in Genshin, i dont like much the inazuma quest but the worlbuilding is truly a master piece

I'm partially done with a story where all mortal magic requires iron implements (wand tips, staff caps, even daggers and jewelry) made by alchemically distilling human blood for the metal content. They work best if it's one's own blood, or the blood of family, but the qualification "necromancer" comes from doing blood sacrifice en mass, and overcoming this restriction with volume and brute force. The major antagonists are the fey, who need no iron (and in fact can be poisoned by even "normal iron" properly forged, and even simple iron gates will usually keep them away from your house. ..it won't stop them summoning bears or monsters to remove the offending article however ...

I have necromancer in my story too.. plan for a trilogy or duology for him. how he will reborn to avenge those people who murder him in previous life. He begin with a negative arc to redemption

I have necromancy, but it is only raising thralls. True resurrection is nigh-impossible.

I have a necromancer who can turn people into zombies but only if they're dying and giving consent. So she almost kills people and takes their despair and will to keep living as them accepting her deal

I ran a campaign where the new player was the BBEG. She was an accidental necromancer that ended up becoming an accidental lytch. My table has a reputation...

Nth metal from the DC universe can hold magic in it. Hawkman's mace is made from it.

Putin and nethanyaou comes to mind...

2:00 - From what you have said here I think I use a mix of both or at least do both at the same time. Much of my world-building involves setting up origin stories, exploring the workings of magic, etc while also addressing the "What" elements as you described them. And from time to time I hard alternate between the two depending on what my objective is.

“ what’s stopping them from creating an army of the undead?” What’s stopping your normal villain from creating an unstoppable army of living soldiers or elementals?

You could make an RPG where the playable classes are just the cultural magics described in this video. Instead of Barbarians, Fighters, and Rangers, play as Celtic Druids and Shamans; re-flavor Bards and Artificers to be reminiscent of Greco-Roman magic and medieval Alchemy; have the folkloric Witch replace scholarly Wizards and combine Monks with Sorcerers to better reflect Eastern Mysticism. Forgive the DnD references, it's the only TTRPG I'm intimately familiar with.

Here's an idea: what if the only way for people to gain magical powers is to die and be resurrected by a necromancer? Go ahead, run with it.

"A hooded figure kneels down next to the corpse of a fallen manticore, examining its rotting flayed flesh and crushed bones. Bandits? Or careless adventurers? It matters not, the corruption of the unharvested core has already begun to spread, the corpse bubbles with the scent of Death. Left alone as is, the Manticore will undoubtedly turn undead and follow its newfound instincts to inevitably torment those who cross its path. However the hooded figure has other plans for the Manticore. Drawing out a pulsating purple crystal and uttering words of power, black tendrils plunge into the corpse. With a shudder, the Manticore arose on unsteady limbs, its rotting flesh sloughing off as it stands to its full height. "Follow" the figure commanded. The Manticore could do nothing more but fulfill the commands of its new master."

With my current urban fantasy story, near the end of the first book my main character gains the ability to create magic diamonds from squeezing small pebbles. Unfortunately this creates problems such as greed from others. Probably having a charm effect to the most greedy.

When I first saw Jurassic Park, back in the day, I remember most of the women, and some guys too, lifting their legs to the seat when the raptors first appeared. It was a primal reaction, akin to that of cosmic horror.

adamantium is from ancient greece, or rather the original, adamantine, the inspiration kinda lame you left out nichirin, is like japanese orichalcum, very relevant in fiction

Tamora Pierce's serries "Alanna The Lioness" has an interesting caveat to magical healing. The body becomes more and more resistant each time. So young, fresh recruits are patched up and sent back out in no time, but old grizzled veterans take longer to recover.

I must know what kind of accent this is. O-O
