Mages may purchase corpses and souls for philosophical research, and may do with them as they wish in private. Morrowind is the only province of Tamriel in which necromancy has been banned and is illegal. Necromancy is not illegal in the Empire, though body and spirit are protected as property, and may not be used without the permission of the owner, and public display of the living dead is widely prohibited. School of Necromancy is also responsible for creation of black soul gems.Īccording to the Dunmer, animation or control of a deceased's flesh or spirit is righteous when practiced according to established cult ritual, but illegal and abominable in the hands of secular sorcerers. Necromancy particularly deals with enslavement and utilization of involuntary souls and their bodies. Necromancy, commonly called The Black Arts, and called "Alok-Dilon" in the Dragon Language, is a sub-school of Conjuration.

For the Conjuration perk in Skyrim, see Necromancy (Perk) and Necromancer.
