== Necromancy Making Friends with the Dead ==
Zombies can be generated created via necromancy. Necromancers [[Necromancer]]s can generate zombies, raise dead and if they are present on any floor, you will often likelz have to kill the necromancer first to stop the flow eternal reanimation of zombies.. These necromancers prove to be a problem in large areas where they may be difficult to find, such as the special Zombie Level on the [[Gloomy Caves|GC 6]] which focuses on undead. There is a prodgious amount of both zombies and necromancers here.
