He mentioned you a while back, said we might like a chat. I think he meant you, anyway. You the necromancer fella?

[fantachetic]

He mentioned my necromantic prowess, did he? That sappy lummox.

[ He has to specify which prowess, because Bull is nothing if not a braggart. A loud, unapologetic one, at that. ]

I've many skills as a mage, but my specialties lie within necromancy as well as thaumaturgy.

[Thankfully (and for once) their sex life did not actually come up in conversation.]

He was asking me what I can do, and I let slip that I knew a few necromancy spells, so it was topical. My specialty's evocation, mostly, but I've got my hands in lots of pies.

[fantachetic]

[ Praise the Maker, miracles do exist. ]

What sorts of pies would those be?

[necromanswers]

[She wiggles her fingers with a cheeky grin.]

Delicious pies, if we're speaking literally. I'm also quite the chef. But more specifically, I've dabbled in transmutation, conjuration, and a bit of illusion magic. You could say I like to try everything before I settle down for the long haul.

[fantachetic]

I can certainly understand the reasoning. I had quite a similar experience before my mind was set on Necromancy.

[necromanswers]

Necromancy's an interesting field. It never really clicked with me- same with divination. Lots of life and death spells, meddling with how time and future works... it was too indirect for me. I can see the appeal, and there's some very cool spells, but it wasn't my thing. Used to theorize it to death with my beau, though.

...Ha. To death.

[fantachetic]

You prefer a more direct approach, I see. There is, of course, nothing wrong with that. However, I chose my path because it was the most difficult form of magic to perfect. There are very few necromancers due to the difficulty as well as its more taboo connotations. Granted, most of these are horribly misunderstood..

[necromanswers]

Well, yeah. Most people get kinda twitchy at occult stuff involving animating corpses and creepy bullshit. Not that I really mind, but some folks are more close-minded. It better suits guys with ambition like you.

[fantachetic]

Another common misconception. It's not so much animating the corpse as it is drawing spirits that are lured by death. Though, I suppose to anyone on the other end, would be quite frightening.

[necromanswers]

...Well. Maybe your necromancy doesn't involve animating corpses.

[The version she knows certainly does, on occasion.]

Yours sounds pretty rad, though.
