The EJs also gloss necromancer as 魔術師, which is also off the mark. I'll remove it.

necromancer: "someone who claims to communicate with the dead in order to discover what is going to happen in the future, or who is involved in black magic"
  Comments:
"Necromancer" has quite a specific meaning. I don't think it's a suitable gloss for 占い師.
I don't think we need "palmist" either.

All my EJs use this to gloss "necromancer". None of the JEs use it.
