necromancy

A school of magic containing all spells that affect death. The classic uses of the term include undead, or controlling death, death spells which inflict death, and séances, communicating with the dead. However, some resurrection spells can also belong to this school because they dispel death.

A magician becomes a lich by using necromancy to prevent his or her death.
