Someone explain the point in making Necro a skill and not a spell book or a low level form of summoning in the summoning skill?
I see do difference other than Necro being a half-assed version of Summoning.
Summoning, recreating a body and putting a soul/spirit into the body that YOU RECREATED FROM NEAR NOTHING, compared to Necro where you Summong a soul/spirit and put it into an already existing body, that you may or may not have killed.

Like they both involve summoning a soul or spirit. But one of them involves recreating a whole damn body, where as the other doesn't require anything other than a soul and a dead body.

I could only see this being a useful skill if it leeches of off summoning... example, if they made Necro have a totem to carry with you that would hold between 2-7 different familiars, and allow you to summon those familiars without a pouch, and for an unlimited time. Other than that I see no use for this skill as the game sit today

The obvious route would be to make Necromancy an elite skill, on the pattern of Invention... so it might require 80 Magic, Summoning and Divination to even start.

It is automatically bad, even worse than divination.

It's up to Jagex to rise above that, and make something that might be considered fun.

They stepped in it, so they get to clean it up.

Do explain how its worse than divination. When you know nothing about the skill.

What info do you have that no one else does. Do share
