Canoodle endlessly with one wooing a sorcerer (11)

I believe the answer is:

necromancer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a sorcerer' is the definition.
(I know that sorcerer can be written as necromancer)

'canoodle endlessly with one wooing' is the wordplay.
'canoodle' becomes 'neck' (I've seen this in another clue).
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'with one wooing' becomes 'romancer' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'neck' with its last letter removed is 'nec'.
'nec'+'romancer'='NECROMANCER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for necromancer that I've seen before include "Black artist" , "magician" , "Sorcerer" , "Madame Arcati" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
