That's why there are so many skills named after him - the magic _itself_ isn't forbidden, just the means he took to discover it. I may be misremembering tbh. But he did the necro-no nos. Which involves bringing back souls, doing murder experiments, etc.

This is reflected in them requiring corpses in GW1. > This means, wells are not conjured from the depths of the earth, but from the depths of cadavers. > Just to add to this. In some early GW1 Necromancer quests they talk about how minions are created out of bodies without touching the souls. Manipulating souls is considered to be taboo by necromancers but it's not unknown for some necromancers to manipulate the soul as well as the body. The Lich, Palawa Joko and Verata are examples of those that manipulate both.
