I really, really like Clay Statues.
My mist elven necromancer (lvl 14, 62DV 17 PV) spends her time reading spellbooks in animated forest - all the while her Clay Statue slave kills Trees, generating more and more spellbooks for her to learn. You need to level up the statue to about lvl 35 (which is not hard at all in the big cave, especially if you are farming herbs there) first, but after that Animated Forest becomes a treasure trove.
Now if only that generated amulet of life saving as well...

RoDS can be generated that way; I used that method back in the day with banshee.
Sadly the trees are now immune to her wail.

Clay Statues are far superior to Banshee - they are your loyal slaves, so you can utilize them throughout the whole game except for the final level; no danger of accidentally being killed by them like with Banshee or bard pets. They also regenerate, fixing the main problem of normal necromancers.
And you can also make as many of them as you wish.

Due to mist elves's mist shield, you don't even need much protection while your beasts tear the forest to shreds.
Clay Statues can be utilized much earlier than the Banshee level

You can also start in the big cave almost immediately, making it a perfect speedrun.
