Necromancer Spell List in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Necromancer Spell List

A handsome Elf male in a white robe takes pause in the middle of a battle to survey the scene before him. Seeing a nearby footman having trouble fighting a bloodlusting Orc, he touches the corpse of a nearby Worg, which rises from the afterlife and lunges at the green beast. A Tiefling in black leather armor raises her sword to parry the wild swing of a cackling Gnoll. As her free hand grabs the creature’s unarmored wrist, it lets out a yelp as a green misty substance flows into the Tiefling’s palm and out of a cut on her forearm - a cut that slowly starts to close. As the Ogre’s giant club is about to come down on him, a warrior closes his eyes and awaits death. A howl sounds, and the fighter opens his eyes: he sees the giant flailing around wildly, grasping its face. Standing behind it is a Gnome, grinning through his beard, holding an open tome. No matter the approach to combat, necromancers seek to control life and death in all their forms. A natural knack for manipulating the life essences that flow in every living being is what drives each necromancer to commit their nefarious or honorable deeds.

spellcasting:
As a necromancer, the skill to manipulate the life essence of any living being comes naturally to you. Though this skill requires natural talent, the techniques for doing so can be enhanced by studying spells and the arcane. See chapter 10 of the official player handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the necromancer spell list.
