The mod is titled "Necromancy is Actually Banned," and can be found on Nexus Mods by user MadAborModding. It does exactly what the title implies, banning the use of Necromancy magic when part of the Oblivion Remastered Mages Guild. This is the case in the lore, so it makes sense to have this reflected in the gameplay. Players can still use Necromancy, but casting a spell in this school of magic will result in expulsion from the Mages Guild if done in front of a member. This "makes Necromancy feel like something you really need to hide."

Lore-Friendly Oblivion Remastered Mod Bans Necromancy in the Mages Guild

"Necromancy is Actually Banned" also has an optional add-on that makes another important tweak, offering the choice to remove any Summon Undead spells from Mages Guild vendors. Given that these spells are now banned, it only makes sense. This Oblivion Remastered mod adds the Necromancy spells and tomes to other vendors outside the Mages Guild, so players can still acquire them if they'd like. It has proven to be a hit with PC players, currently amassing over 12,000 downloads on Nexus Mods.

With Oblivion Remastered off to a strong start in its first few weeks, the question now surrounds what the future holds for the game. Although new content is unlikely, Bethesda has asked for Oblivion Remastered feedback from players to see where improvements could be made going forward. This is a good sign that Oblivion Remastered will be supported for the foreseeable future.
