->'''NECROMANCY''' is, in Fantasyland, the art of raising the dead, and you need a specialized MAGIC USER to do it. You must expect to need to consult someone who is dead about two-thirds of the way through your Tour. You must hire or call in a favour from a Necromancer, who will do things with little pots of smoke over the grave and then summon the dead person in words that vibrate the earth and the air. After this, a misty version of the corpse (or sometimes one not misty enough for comfort) will arise, bringing with it a cold blast of air and a strong graveyard SMELL. This simulacrum will be able to speak and will have all the memories of the dead person. You must ask it what you want to know. But take care to ask the right questions. Usually such a rite cannot be repeated, and the dead are often as literal-minded as computers
