Yogamancy
A type of magic that most people confuse with necromancy, yogamancy was founded by the diety, Sanje. Passed down from Sanje to First Citizen Kraggi Squirrelypants, Kraggi taught all of his willing followers how to use the powers effectively. Almost all yogamancers use this magic - one that is statistically viewed as a dark art - for practical and harmless means, which better the community they live in.
Source
People do not innately contain the magical strength required to perform spells in yogamancy. They must learn to channel the power from a vessel. As individuals learn to channel more and more energy at once, they start being able to keep a personal 'store' of yogamantic energy. This leaves scholars to believe that prodigies in yogamantic channelling may be able to become vessels of energy as well.
Training
The vast majority of Yogamancers are trained in Gal-Zabor city, Gal-Zabor. The few others learn from novels written by masters or skilled yogamancers who moved away from Gal-Zabor. Training basically involves a regular mental and physical exercise routine and the memorization of incantation rituals. People have been known to become adept in yogamancy within weeks.
Spells
Yogamancy has few spells, but all are very practical and effective. Some spells rely on others to be effective, others are essential to learn. There is more to Yogamancy than just dealing with undead.
Raise Zombie
The most vital spell in all yogamancy, this spell animates a corpse. The corpse must have a spine and skull to properly be animated. (This section will be updated later. If you feel you can update it, feel free to lend a hand. It will be appreciated.)

Avatar
A spell that Sanje gave to Kraggi to give him a greater edge in battle, the avatar spell is one of Kraggi's closely guarded secrets. Using the spell, the caster takes the form of a large, winged demon. The form sends out an aura of fear that causes enemies to panic when looking into the face of the caster. This spell is incredibly tiring for both the caster and the vessel after long durations, and takes a long time replenish.

A special thanks to Mystic for making a good format for magic that I could quickly scalp as a template. :shifty:
