Kind of strange they wouldn't want to expand their knowledge of their craft, but their loss I guess.

[ it must keep Third House busy if they ever need to clean up necromantic messes by the others. ]

No House likes to give up the knowledge of their House specialization. We each emphasize different things in our children when we begin teaching them. I've learned how to do some of the things to the other Houses specialize in, but I'm still not as good as an accomplished adept from that House.

So less that and more of a necromantic checks and balances thing.

[ Assuming that is the reasoning, then, hey, whatever works. One House having more power than the others could also likely and quickly get messy, especially with someone with ill intent at the top of it. Happens a lot, even in non magical worlds, when some asshole goes on a power trip and ruins things for everyone else. ]

I might not have much desire for any myself, but it's been interesting here to hear about other people's magic. So, thanks for being ok with explaining some of what it means to be a necromancer to someone with zero context.

[ She's done it more than once. ]

[Ianthe did like to talk about this that let her flex her knowledge. She enjoyed academic discussion, just don't call her a nerd. ~~She's totally a nerd~~.]

I'm glad you're curious and not just going Necromancy- Ew. It's far more versatile than I think it's portrayed outside of the Nine Houses.

I didn't have anything to 'ew' about it even if I were inclined to. It was a foreign concept, I haven't seen you go around using it maliciously, and you willingly shared information that you weren't obligated to. So, even less reasons to 'ew' it now.

I'd be more concerned if it weren't versatile — but not in an 'ew' way, more like a 'that's depressing' way.

[Her malicious necromancy was done in private, tyvm.]

I find a lot of these other world's magic weird restrictive.

[ probably for the best ]

Too many rules with the other kinds of magic?

Not rules but limitations.

ah, two of my least favorite things. Which probably does get more annoying when you add in magic.

You have no idea.

This is the real reason everyone else is lucky I don't have any magic. Every "you can't do that; it's impossible", I would figure out how to do it just to prove I could, or figure out another way around it.

[ at least he's aware of this???? ]

I like to reverse engineer things.

Does that also mean you've created your own theorems?

Several. I'm very accomplished.

If you ever feel like showing off, let me know, because I would love to actually see how it works sometime.

It's very weird to have someone from pre-rez with no previous exposure to magic to have such an interest.

A bad weird or a good weird? New things don't scare me; I'm surrounded plenty by it now, anyway. The alternative would be deciding all magic is bad and scary and shouldn't be learned about because it's bad and scary, and hard pass on that ignorance.

Good weird. It's refreshing. I'm tired of the ignorance.

I'm sure anyone would be. I wish I could also say I assume that everyone else here has two whole brain cells and realize it does no good to be ignorant about it, but, I am not *that* optimistic of a person.

I'd be concerned who was messing with your brain if you did.

[You know, someone other than her.]

That would be the only way for that to happen. I like my brain how it is, anyway.

[ :) ]

Not really a fan of the idea there's people from non magical places running around here being weird about magic and making the rest of us look like dumbasses about it too. But I also come from a place where certain people see colorful but highly toxic to ingest chemicals - meant to wash clothing - wrapped in a thin film and go "I want to eat it for views on the internet" so I'm not sure what I expect from humanity anymore.

That part never goes away - that need to get views. It just ends up about different stupid shit.

I'm so glad the best, most sane parts of humanity survives 10,000 years, good job everyone, 10/10

[ yes, yes it is sarcasm. ]

No one from the necromancer assassination squad got pulled in here with you did they?

[Her sister didn't count.]

None that I'm aware of. But look for those ridiculously long stupid names.

It's going to make me suspicious of anyone who takes more than fifteen seconds to say their whole name, for sure.

[ Says the person with the least amount of room to talk there but okay then!!! ]
