Necromancer Wizard

Source: Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse p. 264, Volo’s Guide to Monsters p. 217

Necromancers study the interaction of life, death, and undeath. Some necromancers dig up or purchase corpses to create Undead servitors. A few instead use their powers for good, hunting Undead.

Wizards

Wizards pursue magical power through the study of arcane texts. Some travel the world searching for esoteric tomes while others train lesser wizards or collaborate with colleagues to create new spells.
