    Uh... no. The pronunciation is not "craw" but "crow". "Neh-crow-poe-tense" is the proper way.

    Here's a Thesaurus link with sound so you can hear "necro" appropriately.

    False. There is no e following the o in this case, with how the letters are formulated. Thus the O is pronounced short "awe" not long (edit: there are indeed exceptions to this rule, there are times where no e following will still result in a long o).

    Just as in incompetence.

    Magic: The Gathering players have been arguing the pronunciation of necropotence for years.

    Neh-crop-peh-tense seems favored, but necro-potents has its fans, too.

    I don't think Wizards has ever officially clarified, but ZOS doesn't have to follow their pronunciation so it's whatever ZOS clarifies it to be.

    No that is a vast difference, potato and potato is a simply misspelling not a mis pronunciation, it is so annoying when people say this to represent a major difference.

    But "necro" is cool to say. And English has least consistent pronunciation rules in the known universe. So if people want to make "necro" part of the pronunciation, I say go for it! ;)

    Since you can't hear me say it my only option was to use creative spelling. But I am sure deep down you know the song.
