Yes, that would be necromancy, I suppose. The thought did cross my mind. I wouldn't allow it...not for PCs. That's not my kind of campaign.<br><br>But it should be possible to work out rules. I worked out a kludge a while back that allowed the equivalent of necromancy in Glorantha using standard rules...made it the basis of a big adventure. Nasty, but interesting.<br>

</div>Maybe it's not politically correct, but I think human sacrifices (babies and<br>
virgins being worth 'more') would be a more "logical" source of power for<br>
sorcery. Look at all the stories about sorcerers in RW lore or in S&S<br>
fiction. The supplement _Carcosa_ for LotFP is a good source for this kind of<br>
magic.<br>
