Necromancy, could be referred to as dark magic. Although you can find some things that are similar to the Magery skill, necromancy is generally about summoning undead creatures. The skill is not as practical as magery when it comes to open world combat, but can be lethal in small and tiny spaces.
To perform many of the spells necromancy uses a combination of skill, health, mana and even stamina in some cases, along with reagents.
