I wouldn't be so sure. Here's something I made up in about 15 minutes.

Doll Mage: Mages that attack targets, and as they do, they absorb fragments of that enemy's soul, which is then used to animated minions to overwhelm their foes. You'd start out being able to animate only one minion, but as you level you'd be able to animate several minions to attack the enemy while you cast your own spells at the enemy (most of which deal damage but also enhance your minions or resets their duration).

Story would be that they were originally necromancers, but after some event had to go into hiding and change their art, leading to them starting to use wooden dolls to bring to life in combat instead of corpses. The questline would obviously have you go against someone who is trying to use corpses (or is killing people to use their corpses, believing it to be a "pure" form of their art). The weapon could be a scythe; maybe a weapon that is both a scythe and a phylactery.

And before you tell me that wooden dolls can't be scary or threatening, remember that this exists.
