II. Necromancy & Astral Light

Necromancy is an esoteric practice that primarily focuses on the communication and manipulation of spirits through the use of Astral Light as a medium. Astral Light, essential to necromancy, functions as the catalyst for interactions with spirits, allowing practitioners to engage in dialogue and control spiritual entities. This practice suggests that necromancers harness the Astral Light to bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual realms, enabling them to contact and exert influence over spirits. Astral Light serves an essential office in necromancy, acting as the fundamental energy source that facilitates interaction with spirits. Necromancers employ this light to establish connections and communicate with the spirits, thereby performing various ritualistic or magical acts. The descriptions indicate that necromancy and Astral Light are intrinsically linked, with the latter being indispensable for the former to function effectively.
