NIGROMANCY — [Noun] Necromancy; magic involving death or the dead, often associated with black magic. From Middle English nigromauncy, from Old French nigromancie, nigremance, from Late Latin nigromantia, a blend of niger ("black") and necromantīa ("necromancy"). Unlike "necromancy" (which leans toward divination through the dead) or "theurgy" (which seeks communion with the divine), nigromancy is the shadowed art of forbidden pacts, the whisper in a charnel house thick with the scent of damp earth and burnt tallow, the cold weight of a demon’s name coiled on the tongue. It is the candle guttering over a grimoire’s cracked vellum, the rasp of a corpse’s breath forced back into withered lungs, the shudder of something not-quite-human answering from the dark—proof that some knowledge, once unearthed, cannot be buried again.
