Necromancy and You

Necromancy For Emo
As im working on meat mages again i need to map out my necromancers and meat magic is a wierd heretical sub school of necromancy. Oops lv1 no12 empty

Interestingly necromancers spell components are corpse parts or compounds derived from grave remains like bone dust, grave soil,maggot from a corpse, stool from a corpse, mummified bat, dried brains or livers, or a ear, eyeball, testicle. But fingers are best because you can buy mummified hands good for five uses!

Also introduced here is idea that undead might react neutrally to you. Normally they are the enemy of life. Free roaming skeletons are enemies of all living humans but might ignore a neutral person.

Reactions
So orcs in orcland borders might be hostile, out hunting in wilds might be neutral. In orc house with orcs you know might be friendly.
