There are darker spells where you can necromance people but it's not the same, and it only works if they still exist. Uh, Magicians, when we die, we go to Purgatory and hang out until we're ready to โฆ Deal with the shit we did when we were alive. Until it's time for us to make peace with all of that. Then you just.

I know he moved on.
