Whenever I try to use Necromancy by pressing"C-x"
as it says in the manual it always asks me who do I want to talk to. So how do I do it?

I think it should be Ctrl and x at teh same time. Never used it before, but I think that the manual says C\x or something like that, yeah? The stuff before the x means hold 'control'

PeanutGod: Awwww no! How harsh is that! This is where you need the artefact 'mop and bucket'.

You are confusing using necromancy and controlling slaves...

To use Necromancy you simply use the skill like you would any other, this require that you have a humaniod corpse in your inventory. If you suceed you'll create a undead slave from the corpse (the slave will get some properties from the creature you used, for example a Ogre zombie will be stronger than a pixie zombie, a quickling zombie will be fast and so on. With higher levels you can also create different (and stronger) types of undead (Wraiths, Vampires, Liches etc.)

The Ctrl-x command is to access your class skills, one of wich is to command undead slaves. I believe you can also use the "order" command directly Ctrl-o IIRC (or does that only work for living companions? I forget, been a while...)

It works for any companion.

And it does not work for any slave, which are not companions :P
Slaves must be ordered by the necromancer's class power.

Huh?... IIRC, it'll just say "you do not see any of your companions" and then tell you to choose a slave to command...

That's new... I haven't played nercomancers since 1.0 (or even since some pre-relase... don't remeber), when you had to use the class power...
Anyway, if you get necromancy from PoE or SoE then you have no way of commanding your slaves.
