Uh... no. The pronunciation is not "craw" but "crow". "Neh-crow-poe-tense" is the proper way.exeeter702 wrote: »Its pronounced as like incompetence

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.

And the second half potence is formed in the same manner as omnipotence

✭✭✭✭✭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.signing off3 -

✭✭✭✭✭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!
