"It's not the death itself but what it does to the Fade. You see, when souls move on the Fade is weakened and a talented mage can sense the Fade spirits that are drawn to that feeling," Dorian sits forward in his chair, his hands moving as he talked. "A Necromancer such as myself can draw on those spirits to terrify enemies minds or even take control of their corpses for awhile."

It might seem creepy to someone that Dorian would talk so openly and so passionately about death and death magic but he adores the mental challenge around it. The skill it takes makes him feel superior and he is.

"Death leaves an energy behind," he continues, "When there's enough of it the dead can linger like memories. It's why you find so many walking dead in places of mass death like battlefields or ruins. It's also why you might feel unease. The Veil is thin and dangerous."
