Would a necromancer that only summons spirits be viable way to play?
Would they still be considered evil?

Yes.
Yes.
Why are people so fixated on figuring out how to make necromancers not evil?
Isn't it more fun to figure out how to make them MORE evil?
Like trapping the person's soul into the zombie shell, and letting them speak and say things like "It's alright, son, I won't hurt you," before wresting control from them and forcing them to kill and eat their loved ones?
Necromancy is pretty much always evil, you enlist either the souls of the dead who were resting to do your bidding, or you raise the dead bodies of previously loved ones and make a mockery of them while they do your bidding, also its fucking unsanitary you heathen.
Because necromancers are usually evil, what's the fun of making them more of what they usually are? Plus you can only kick so many kittens before it gets stale.
Necromancy isn't inherently evil. Asshole move, maybe, but certainly not evil.
>what's the fun of making them more of what they usually are?
Because subversion is lazy, and it's more challenging to push something further towards an extreme?
Noit being a contrarian for the sake of it instead of working with any sort of merit?
What is this fixation on good and evil? I'll assume that we are not talking about DnD.
Necromancy is just a tool. And since you're not supposed to fuck dead people, it is banned. If you still gonna use this tool, you break the laws, you do amoral thing, you're doing bad thing. But we have characters like Robin Hood. He also breaks the law, but he does this for good. He helps poor people and stuff. Why necromancer can't do that? Idk, Kev. I'd say he can. If you act like a good person, you are good. But society might not see as one, because necromancy is just amoral.
And yes, ghosts are viable. And cute.
Why doesn't anyone ever make a necromancer that focuses on the other aspects of being a death mage? It's always undead and spooks. I want to play coroner and burial rites necromancer. More in line with the inevitability of death. I realize it's been done too but it's a whole lot more interesting than Evil McReallyevil and Nice Guy Necrosocialist.
