Premise
With the recent announcement by the Testing Grounds staff cornering the removal of Mroz4k's Necromancer I took it upon myself to take the salvageable qualities of the role and create my own. As far I'm concerned Necromancer should remain in the Testing Grounds for keepsake, but if that is not the case, this role will serve as a potential replacement.
From what I understand the current issue with Testing Ground's Necromancer is that it hardcounters the Town(Power) role of Retribusionist. At least, that's the TG Staff's reasoning behind its removal.
Role
An evil Retribusionist has been an issue for as long as it's existed, it's a difficult role to implement. While it's good in theory, it simply cannot be done in practice. My thoughts on the matter~are a grey area, but once I learned the role was being removed I had to take a chance at saving Necromancer!

Note:This part is a little controversial and difficult to come to a consensus on with the community. It may even become conflicting, but this is my best attempt to make this work.
All Mafia may continue preforming their night abilities.

You may only chat with the Mafia member if they're alone without Mafia.
The Mafia will see their revived ally as you, the Necromorph, in the allies section.
The Attack and Defense of the member of the Mafia you're allying with will change according to their promotion.

You select them during the day, and that night they will be informed a Necromorph has allowed them to preform their night actions through them.
