[quote=@Crusader Lord] Fascinating! I suppose in part I was wondering if someone could manage to withstand a partial corruption or transformation from it, at least from the sounds of things, or would have a reason to try to hide and contain it. Or maybe partly became a monster or something and is trying to hide it to avoid being killed. Etc. But at the same time, I will confess that was just a preliminary thought of sorts. Don't want to assume everything, or sound too crazy with any ideas for that matter. Beyond that, how necromancy works sounds interesting as well if there are different ways of going about it. Or does it fall under a single school of magic, or multiple ones? :hmm Er, apologies for the rambling and awkwardness on my part in the end here as well. Words and self-confidence aren't always my strong suits.... Admittedly I also saw the join status of the RP and have been feeling a fair bit tempted to ask to join after reading the rules. Definitely seems to be a well fleshed out world you've crafted here! I'm also trying not to overextend myself with RPs either, however, because ones like this get my imagination running a little bit thinking of potential character ideas and such. ^^; [/quote] Pay it no mind, I enjoy the questions. Malfested - the term used to describe sapient beings who under go miasma corruption, are generally treated as monsters due to losing their sanity during this process. The extent depends on the person and how much miasma they were exposed to over time or at once, but they still can't be integrated into society as they cause rot and present the danger of further malfestation in their vicinity. Unless they or someone else found a way to mitigate it. It is possible for a semi-malfested person to live a generally normal life, but just know that if they not careful they'll end up being hunted by reavers, adventurers, or executioners from the Holy Church. They also tend to stay away from populated areas. As for Necromancy: it is considered a fell art that normal schools would never teach their students. It's possible that some schools would safe guard scrolls that detail how it works, so the knowledge is kept out of the wrong hands. Perhaps the guardians even feel that they would know how to not misuse the power, if the situation ever called for its need. The Six Principles of sorcery can all be involved in the resurrection process in different ways: Elementalism and Alchemy in order to be able to physically reconstruct a decayed corpse, if you wish to be able to give orders to the corpse, Espermancy would be a good way to accomplish that. If you want the corpse to have more autonomy, an understanding of Galdr would benefit being able to rouse souls froom Spectral Realm. For more of a metaphysical use, The concept of pulling souls and cursed spirits from layers of Heaven and Hell will need a person to use Thaumaturgy and understanding The Void. They also call these places Narakk'a and "The Pure Lands".
