[@Force and Fury] So what category of magic would implore the use of manipulating not just the flesh nor the bone but what of the soul? I would assume such a thing would be extremely difficult as it seems most magic would be easy if it has an existing physical component to use. It would be dangerous to try to puppeteer a soul and use it in something like animating a corpse.

Ah, so one of the things that I've done is purposely left it ambiguous as to just how real the religious and spiritual aspects of the world are. Do people have souls? Could a skilled enough chemical mage actually just recreate a person's brain chemistry from when they were alive? Could a binding mage rebuild their flesh and would that be enough? Could a temporal mage temporally pause them or de-age them to immediately after death to prevent decay? Would it do the job? I'm not sure, and that's where you have some room to dabble and play.
