Primarily focusing on ghosts, also called echoes, Necromancers can take the ‘echo’ of a dead individual and bring it to bear, influencing the world. They straddle a place between present and memory, life and death, and leverage this position to see and manipulate things others wouldn’t be able to. - Pact Dice: The Practices - Wbow Version</ref> Someone who exclusively utilizes ghosts and other spectral beings is called a Valkyrie or Valkalla depending on gender.
