Necromancy Outlawed

Criminal Activity

Until this point, necromancy had been a useful tool for weakening one's opponent in battle, but with the breakthrough into the 3rd circle of Magic, the existing High Professor of necromancy discovered the means of re-animating a corpse. In a history that the university would rather forget, the High Professor animated the corpse of one of his own students. It was unclear how the student had died in the first place, but the High Professor claimed that the student had been a willing participant. This discovery was not looked upon favourably by the other professors, or the general public. The High Professor of necromancy was ousted from the university, but no evidence could be found that he had actually killed the student, and so no crime could be pinned on him. From then on, the study of necromancy was banned, and a law instituted by the Order of the Shield, to prevent any such thing from happening again.
