In Oblivion Remastered, you'll hear about the Mage's Guild pretty quickly through NPC chatter. In fact, there's a good chance that those who bring it up will mention how they have recently banned the practice of necromancy, causing many members to leave.

Now, I don't think this is particularly well enforced, because no one bats an eye when I summon a skeleton, but it does mean that your ability to engage with necromancy in-game is quite limited. Thankfully, a fan has come to the rescue, creating an expansive necromancy experience.

Dark Path of the Necromancer by Nexus Mods user ColdTyrant adds a whole lot of content. For starters, it gives you access to new abilities and spells. Naturally, one of these abilities allows you to raise the dead, resurrecting dead NPCs and creatures.

What makes this even more impressive is that the mod ties this all in with new quests. Included in this is the new faction of the Order of the Black Worm. Like any other faction, you advance through the ranks.

The mod page says that in order to reach your potential as a necromancer, you'll have to infiltrate the Mage's Guild and rise through the ranks...
