It tells a fascinating story about the implied history of necromantic magic. The way I see it, certain kinds of magic were just considered taboo, and no wizard wanted those spells to be considered a part of their school. So they lumped them all together in a single school so that they could just keep all the dark magic in one place. Choosing to specialize in necromancy says a lot about a person. Your interests are not with a certain magical process, like altering matter or manipulating the mind. You want to specialize in the forbidden. Unlike all other specialist wizards, the specific kind of magic isn't important; what's important is that other people viewed it with fear and hatred at one point. Some necromantic spells, like clone, are still controversial even in real life! Necromancy probably has some of the best roleplaying opportunities, simply because it doesn't fit in. That's cool!</blockquote>
