Necromancy

Necromancy is the school of magic whose spells manipulate the power of death, unlife, and the life force. Spells involving the undead make up a portion of this school, including animate dead and finger of death. Highly focused on the Negitive Energy Plane, most spells from this school drain abilities. This school is often the one most associated with lichdom, a process that allows the caster to live indefinately by securing their essence in a recepticle known as a phylactery. A wizard who specializes in the necromantic school is called a Necromancer.
