    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>who/what is a &#8216;nekomancer&#8217;, you ask&#8230;
let me explain..</p>

<p><strong>necromancy</strong>:</p>

<p>from the <a href="http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/necromancy">merriam-webster</a> dictionary</p>

<p>meaning:</p>

<ul>
<li>conjuration of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events</li>
<li>magic, sorcery</li>
</ul>

<p>it&#8217;s made of:</p>

<ul>
<li>NECRO: those that are dead, one that is dead</li>
<li>MANCY: divination</li>
</ul>

<p>does it start to make sense?</p>

<p><strong>neko</strong></p>

<p>it&#8217;s the japanese word for &#8216;cat&#8217;.</p>

<p>to be exact, it&#8217;s the (modified hepburn) romanization of the japanese word for cat.</p>

<p>in japanese, cat is written like this: 猫.
and it&#8217;s pronounced as: ねこ.
and the romanization of ねこ is &#8216;neko&#8217;.</p>

<p><strong>to put this all together</strong>,</p>

<p>a nekomancer is someone who practices nekomancy.
which is (using the merriam-webster definition for necromancy):</p>

<p>conjuration of (the spirits of) cats for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events</p>

<p>to put it in a more rpg way, a nekomancer is like a necromancer but he does not use dead people(&#8217;s souls), but cats ;)</p>
