Last night, in the midst of my... shall we say, artistic reverie, the ever-charming Miss Jaknuk decided to interrupt me with a most intriguing book she had found. I am rarely the type to pay mind to the more academic side of magic, but upon scanning this book, I became rather enthralled by the knowledge of necromancy contained within. It seems that some mages and clerics are capable of reviving the dead. While I knew of such magic from Father's field medics, I never realized that more powerful casters could reach those longer dead, perhaps without even a body present. This is most riveting to me, and it will certainly bear further research.
