I know this is really late, but I hope it helps.

Right-click on the book and select the option to read it. When the pop-up happens, confirm you want to read it. This gives you the powers. You'll then have a book icon when you select your new necromancer. Click on the book and you'll get a list of options. Devower corpses will let you each corpses for energy (paws = 5, animals = less, but depends on size). You'll also have an option for raise undead. This costs 10 energy. Kill two people, consume them for energy, third person lets you raise them. Highly recommend just consuming the corpses starting near the monolith to help get you started.

From there, as you research, you'll unlock more abilities with your book. Undead champions are stronger, but not worth the bandwidth cost of 3 until you get some extra bandwidth under your belt. Also, you will NEED to butcher every pawn that comes your way. You increase your bandwidth by combining 50 human leather with some jade at a tailor bench. This gives you ONE bandwidth. I haven't hit a cap yet, but considering your energy comes from corpses, and your ability to increase your caps come from corpses, they are all fighting for the same resources.

You also get the ability to raise shamblers, and this doesn't count into your bandwidth. Do note that you don't really have control over them, and all they will do is attack things, so they are very low priority. To get more green shards, use consume corpse on an animated undead.

Hope this helps!

It did, a lot. Now the problem is how to expand bandwidth faster...

This mod will allow you to butcher humans to get their leather and still leave you a skeleton that you could either harvest for necrotic energy or raise from the dead.

I seen it recommended in the comments albeit the poster did say it felt cheaty. Thinking about giving it a try myself.

There needs to be a way to make more necromancer books and more necromancers, right?

According to the description you either use the necromancer start or find it on merchants.

I don't think you can craft books.

I use The Profane mod to get undead horses for caravaning for trading.

Haven't made it that far in this mod yet though.

Black hive might be a mod? They have hulks. They take a lot of space up, but one of them is a GIANT carrier..

hi

im a having a problem obtaining human leather, when butchering one i obtain raw human hide. i put it in the raw hide rack then it turns to raw hide. I'm guessing its a mod thing but could it be the medieval overhaul mod?

Figured it out. i need to research proper tanning methods.
