In order to animate the bodies of the dead, a necromancer must create a false soul. It is easily the biggest step one must take to achieve the immortality of the soul, and to be one step closer to joining the infamous ranks of the Necromancer Lords. This works by channeling energy and will into a singular tiny point, so much that you create energy from nothing, and to trick a corpse into thinking that this energy is a real soul, it's own soul. It is what makes a necromancer, and it is the most lethal task by far. Some have had their souls ripped out of their bodies in their attempt to complete this step.
