Necromancy

Somatic reanimation of decaying tissue matrices, structural bone-shaping, and the forceful acoustic binding of lingering post-mortem consciousness fragments to extract historical intelligence or deploy disposable workforce frames.

The thrill of commanding the dead, raising skeletal armies, or extracting secrets from lingering spirits. It is the dark power of undeath, a forbidden science that defies natural laws and offers control over life and death itself.
