Powers and abilities[]
- “And the dead shall rise! Just 'cause I say so.”

Magnus immobilizes Angel.
Necromancers had the ability to exert physical control over any kind of dead and undead creature, being capable of manipulating their actions — such as speaking or moving. At one point, when Hainsley took control of Angel, he claimed that he could dust him without a stake. He also made Spike appear in his house from a distance.[1]
Necromancers also had the ability of raising the dead and transfer spirits, either human or demon, into dead or undead bodies. In the case of transferring spirits into sentient undead, according to Spike, the original consciousness of the host body would cease to exist.[1]
