Raise Minion. If a beast or a humanoid that is Medium or smaller dies within 10 feet of you, you can use your reaction to animate it, causing it to stand up immediately with 1 hit point. The creature can look how you want within reason, but uses the Zombie or Skeleton (your choice) stat block in the Monster Manual. It remains animate for 1 hour, after which time it collapses and dies. In combat, the zombie/skeleton's turn comes immediately after yours. It obeys your mental commands, and the only action it can take is the Attack action, making one melee attack.

Void Warp. You gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in darkness, as a bonus action, you can teleport up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in darkness. You can only use this ability at night.

Resurrection. You are able to cast the Raise Dead spell as its 5th level version from the staff without using any charges or spells slots as an action. When you use your bonus action to chant the incantation below; you bypass the material component requirements of the spell. You can use this ability once per long rest.
     ~ You must first recite aloud this ritual incantation to activate this ability; “The words of Nessiah the Angel…Unable to live, unable to die…Thy punishment is to live eternally.”

In the game-world of Yggdra Union - Necromancer (ネクロマンサー Nekuromansā) is a Skeleton-summoning sorcerer who wields a rod. This class is the male counterpart of Witches, and as such they wield rods, which gives them control over the weapon triangle; Rods are, in return, weak to bows. During an aggressive assault, a necromancer's attacks against their enemies gain dark elemental damage just like that of an assassin's. Only Necromancers are able to use Necro Gate to summon Skeleton soldiers. As a rod user, necromancers can be used as aces for the tactics card Flame. This rod was created by Cameron the Clairvoyant, after training with Roswell the necromancer.
