"Mancy" is actually the greek suffix for things pertaining to various forms of divination. That is, ways to predict the future. Hence "necromancy" is communing with the dead to divine the future. For the practice of raising the dead to do your bidding, the suffix "urgy" (from "ergon", meaning "work") should be more properly applied, forming "necrourgy".

“Necromancy” is communing with the spirits of the dead to predict the future, solve past mysteries, and determine the “truth” of current conditions. Holding a seance, for example, is a form of necromancy.

Some people really should look up the meanings of any words longer that two syllables...
