The art of raise the dead and give them purpose have changed the world and Necromancy have become one of the most important parts of this brave, new world of industry and death.

Going Bust
There is a limit to how much electricity the harness can handle and how much can be stored in the battery-packs fashioned into it. When this limit is exceeded, the Nekrobiotek's harness suffers a major malfunction (i.e explodes) as a result. This is called 'going bust' and it is the sort of fate Nekrobioteks whisper about over drinks.
Backlash
Magic is not without its dangers. When something goes wrong, as things inevitably are bound to do sooner or later, the necromancer suffer 'backlash'; all the energies that they have built up to fuel their spells are unleashed at once. Depending on the power of the spell, the consequences can be anything from a nasty shock and electrical burn-scar to a heart attack and in at least one case complete disintegration.
The more powerful the spell is, the more electricity it requires and so the risk of a devastating backlash increases. Even with the Grounding Harness, most
Nekrobiotek have felt the 'buzz' of a backlash more than once.
