yeah archlitches are basically the good version of liches in DnD, but as far as i know that only applies to DnD.
and while some types of healing are considered necromancy, healing in itself is a pretty natural thing.
So unless you are doing something like life drain spells it dont really apply.
we then come to the biggest problem with the question of "what is a necromancer ?"

Necromancers nowdays are predominantly considered necromancers if they use magic that use and controll THE BODY of the dead.
while things like talk with dead and spirit magic are a type of necromancy for sure, you are not considered a necromancer just because you can use one type of necromancy in most cases.
if you were to follow that logic pretty much every barbarian and shaman archetype out there would be a necromancer as a lot of them use spirit / ancestral / totem magic.
while i would consider it a type of necromancy a druid or a shaman who talks to the spirits of nature or the souls of the ancestors are still not necromancers.
alot of cultures have spells and so on that works with the souls of the ancestors, but again... you are not a necromancer just because you know one spell of borderline necromancy.

@Goldenzeal I reckon it's largely related to the fact necromancers mess with the dead. Every dead person was once a living one, someone's brother or sister, someone's son or daughter, someone's spouse, someone's father or mother. The thought a necromancer would enslave such a person after the death is not a nice one. The body is bad enough, but if the necromancer also drags the soul out of the afterlife for enslavement, it's the worst. It's quite understandable how necromancers would be viewed as evil. The Morrowind book Blasphemous Revenants is quite nicely written reflecting that.

Back in the day, all those years ago, when playing Neverwinter Nights, I chose to go for a necromancer build (it most certainly made the game more challenging). I thought it was hilarious to chase the Aribeth romance route with a necromancer character.

Mmm is the cat bath related to the mental attack? Is that water or is that butt blood~

With the way Fran looks wounded there, that first page doesn't make me happy.

@Sep10trion - Fran was 12 years old in chapter 4. I don't think she aged much in the meantime - I think only a few months passed. So yes, Fran is too young to be posing erotically in water.
Well, like @Kaarme has noted, she isn't at a good age to be an adventurer either.

@Kaarme - in Death Mage, they explain that liches lose much of their mental ability in undeath, especially creativity, and remain unable to complete their research. Which isn't good for their sanity.
Apparently, for undead in MC's service, undeath is kind of like an extreme version of growing old and being bad at learning new things. (wild undead are said to be filled with hatred for the living, but they can't be observed in normal circumstances, because they instantly self-tame in MC's presence.)

 

[Kaarme]

@flannan In most lore I've seen, liches are kind of degenerate, so that might be quite correct. Still, it's the goal of many a necromancer (and probably many other dark mages) as a way to immortality, so it's probably worth the price. I suppose it's not without a reason that it's also the easiest and most obvious way to immortality around. There have to be a few drawbacks.

 

[Blabladodo]

Yay, Fran fanservice!
