| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Magic does exist in dwarf fortress, being the main addition of DF2012. It is one of the many additions of the interaction system. The only way it shows up currently is in the form of necromancers, but with luck, it shall soon appear in other places as well.
Necromancy is obtained in Adventurer mode by reading a tome of Life and Death, traditionally obtained via Necromancer Towers which show up as purple 'I's on the world map. Their towers are often packed tightly with undead and usually more than one Necromancer, whom will not hesitate to raise any fresh corpses you make, or even the limbs of their minions that you chop off. But of course, if you can overcome the danger, the power is then yours.
