Necdatabase

Necdatabase is a term that refers to a type of database that deals with necromancy, the practice of magic involving the communication with or control of the dead. Such databases might be conceptualized as repositories of information related to rituals, spells, incantations, historical accounts of necromantic practices, or lists of spirits and entities believed to be associated with the deceased. The concept is often found in fictional works, particularly within fantasy genres, where it serves as a plot device or a source of lore.

In fictional settings, a Necdatabase could be a magical artifact, a hidden library, or a digital archive compiled by practitioners or scholars of necromancy. The contents might detail methods for summoning ghosts, animating corpses, or divining information from the afterlife. The creation and use of such a database would typically carry significant risks and ethical implications within the narrative. While the term itself is not a recognized real-world database technology, it evokes the imagery of arcane knowledge and forbidden arts. It is a construct born from imagination, serving to deepen the mythology and understanding of necromancy in various stories and games.
