Just little something. Design seed was 'a {u} necromancer' that was prompted by the art. Do people actually know that ? :

> Suffix. -mancer. A practitioner of a specific type of divination.

So a necromancer shouldn't be reanimating the dead. That would be more like 'necrourgy'.

> "Technically, the -mancy and -kinesis suffixes are both misnomers. "Mantia" stands for divination, making "Necromancy" the mystical practice of communicating with the dead but not necessarily bringing them back from the dead."

Yeah; but "urgy" just sounds silly to our ear, to it got Gygax'd.

'Sides, maybe the easiest way to divine the future from the dead is to raise them up and ask them questions?

Anyhow. Seems like a nice solid card, and a nice continuation of 'blue gets to do zombies now'.

Needs flavor text.

I have to wonder whether you mean "thorough".
