Cheb's Necromancy
A mod for Daggerfall Unity that adds Necromancy to the game as spells under the Mysticism school. It also adds an optional Necromancer class which starts with the Animate Dead spell.
The undead are clones of vanilla enemies but are allied to the player. They also have code attached to them which makes them follow the player, but the pathfinding isn't great. It's based off how the enemies pursue the player and works basically the same way.
This mod is not yet 1.0.0! Balancing work needed, as well as revisions to the price & mana cost of spells etc. Feedback appreciated on what values you find work well for you.

Description
Adds several different spell effects for summoning a variety of undead minions as well as a utility spell to recall these to your position:
Spells can be created at the spell maker in the Mage's Guild.
Installation
For more info, please read here.
Configuration
The costs of the spells can be manipulated via the mod settings. I don't know what all the values do and they're wildly out of whack as of 0.0.11. Help in this department would be immensely appreciated!
By default, the Necromancer class is enabled. It can be disabled in the settings, which may help if you're using other class mods and problems occur.
Debugging
Check the log file and look for "Cheb" to find errors related to this mod.
The log file's location differs per operating system. On Linux it is located in $HOME/.config/unity3d/Daggerfall Workshop/Daggerfall Unity/Player.log
