Necromancy

Necromancy is the magical art of animating, raising, manipulating, controlling and mutating the dead. Practitioners of necromancy are called Necromancers. Necromancy is the principal source of the Undead.

Graffscripp
The magical language of necromancy is called Graffscripp, a scratchy, free flowing script that to uncorrupted eyes looks like the random scratch marks of a lunatic. Those who hear the language being spoken hear it come out as a dark, gut-wrenching sound.

Graffscripp came to Earth allegedly through tomes carried from the dark realm of Stradgorf.

 * Controlling corpses like a puppet.
