Contemplating: How Necromancy Accelerates Rot

Many necromancers consider the act of forcing decay and rot to be confusing until they learn the fundamentals of germ theory.

The life cycle of the fastest growing bacteria can double whats present every 10 minutes at a time and take around 12 hours to die, disrupting digestion and causing both living and dead bodies burst from the inside.

If one accelerates the death of some bacteria in this process at the right ratios it can accelerate the volume of nutrients available to feed the other bacteria to fuel reproduction. This can further be controlled by hitting a peak volume of bacteria you need to cause various conditions, from fermentation and gas production to protien breakdown and sloughing of flesh, culminating in killing a target by rapidly growing and then necromancing bacteria so the breakdown processes continue at the desired rate.

In this we can inflict diseases and infections that would take weeks and months in days or even hours. Another lesser known result of this is that a skilled necromancer can annihilate the gut biome of a living creature all at once without killing the host creature. This can disrupt the ability to digest food, keep the acid in your stomach from burning you from the inside and even let hostile bacteria flourish from the outside going in.

Necromancy is not aging, and it is not disassemby. Necromancy is remote control of once animate matter, once tied to the weave of life and easily manipulated by use of the line where that connection was severed. A necromancer doesnt blow up corpses and turn people to mush with chronomancy or evocation but by having the dead kill the living to make more dead.

The smaller the life, however, the less people seem to care. Well, that is until their face falls off. But there are positives to this, such as guided and monitored fermentation, the killing of hostile bacteria and even the puppeting of useful bacteria to stave off a loss of them until the living ones can catch up. You could even control them to work like antibodies, attacking viruses and breaking down unwanted elements to help preserve foods.

Remember that no matter how blunt or sharp the tool is, once you find that tools uses (even the ones outside convention) you'll be better at using the tool overall.

The necromancer frat house learned they could make booze with magic and this is where we ended up. I blame the curriculum order.

Animate dead but it works on skin, hair and finger and toe nails like a swarm spell, either peeling and crawling off the person or wrapping them up and not harming but extremely irritating them. Works on fur, tree bark and other shed living components. Might even work on dust depending on how filthy the house you enter is. Fun for snake and tarantula owners.

President Mischief

A bull was bred and full of life

But much disliked by Frisbie's wife

Her brother preached to let it be

Her husbands work necessity

To bring all of them out of strife

A calf well fed on grain and wine

In furnished fencing, grained and fine

Gildings stacked despite her ire

More finery fueled the fire

But these preens never crossed the line

Then its body matched its spoil

So even chores strained the toil

Reverend brother prayed for measure

In tempering her displeasure

But good Phebe's blood went to boil

Silent steps taken through the shed

Moonlight shined off the sharpened head

Raised twice high over president

But Frisbie clocked the incident;

One more night Mischief overfed

We can call it the "Cellphonia" and just have the residents scribe letters written in blood on a large partchment called "The Doom Scroll" that constantly informs the outside of the harsh truths of reality, rotating on a crank constantly. Anyone caught putting rick rolls in the headers or alignment captials will be flogged for ink.

Would you ever enjoy living in a monastery? I'm thinking about how the (relative) solitude and routine would be nice to some folks but the lack of ability to rainbow your tonsure and have gay sex would probably make it a huge bummer in other ways.

I literally think I was made for monastery life. I already spend most of my time either reading, writing, cleaning, or cooking. I do my best work when I am isolated and calm.

Soul-locked

The exhale is as brief as any other breathe, but the moments spread thin like eternity across the atoms between the body and the slate. Harsh but smooth grey-black marble begins to alight as the sound of the exhale sharpens, dragging across the surface of the slate until shattered into dust, the sound peaking to something akin to a shrill cry or a shriek and then- click. A click for each rune engraved into the grave slate, absorbing the essence of what the person has become in death and holding it fast both like a tight blanket and like a prison.

When the final click silences the screams, a grey robed man turns to the cold body's loved one and says, "Like I said before, the sound is just the matter of the soul dragging across the slate and locking into place. Like a lobster, its not a scream but a sound phenomenon. I promise they're comfortable in there." The person nods, distraught but not argumentative, as the man ushers them out of the procedure room. When the man returns he lifts the small slate from the body and locks it in a cabinet labelled "Graveslate - Small - Phones and Medical Equipment", then moves to push the body on its prepared gurney toward the nearby incinerator.

As the body burns and the man stands by next to two emergency switches, a noise stirs from inside the incinerator. "Scream means blue, thrash means black." The man repeats to himself, like a mantra practiced since his first day working in the Graveslate ward. A light blue glow emanates between the flames and a scream similar to the noise heard from the slate begins to belt out. Quickly the man presses the blue button and curses as the fire is quickly extinguished. "Too much soul, fuck!", quickly the man drags the burned remains out, still glowing blue, and fumbles for the slate just recently put away with care. A larger slate nearby is placed on the table, blank, and the procedure is performed again.

Barely a success, the small slate is disposed of and the newly full medium slate is labelled and filed in "Graveslate - Medium - Industrial Equipment, Servers and Back-Up Generators". A ring comes from the man's pocket and a modified version of the small slare seen before is pulled out, projecting information about the call. Its the emergency supervisor. He picks up. "Code Blue or Code Black?", says the quiet but cold women on the other side. "Code Blue, just rehoused and filed. No loss in the burn besides some mild trauma. I marked the slate for therapy as needed," as the man returns to the slate and adds information they clearly did noy before. "Good job, keep up the steady hand Marcus.", and the phone hangs up.

Im relatively new here but I think evilwizard would be in charge of that, though I dont know how to summon them since I'm more of an academic.

Does anyone around here know of the next necromantic appreciation society meetup? I've been very lonely lately (aside from the skeletons) (aside from the gay wizards I live with) (aside from my brews) (aside from my t4t wizards I make out with)

Contemplating: Necromancy and Cosmetic Care

In previous entries I have put import on the capability of dead skin, finger nails and hair as being extended necromantic components so long as one keeps them on hand or allows for extended growth on their person. This holds true but a more skilled necromancer would never need to keep excess components like these on person as anything from dirt to other small elements in the environment could replace bodily made material. With that said, lets talk self care.

Exfoliation is a simple act when considering most pores are clogged by just dead skin and other small particulates and the external dried dead skin can come off with ease of focus. Instead of the brutish armoring with dead skin this requires a deal more focus as it demands you not pull to fast or rough with your manipulations, using a light touch to unclog a few pores at a time and peel any loose or small pulls of dead skin from the face. If you choose the excess can be kept but at this point it would be better suited for feeding any insect farms you may have for more robust components.

Hair and root care is much more complex but still worth the effort for practice alone as hair is the strongest and most useful of bodily made components. For starters, finding where the hair ceases to be living from the root up the folicle and to the ends is more difficult as they're smaller and thinner than the surface of the skin. Once found, however, you can let a light force of decay dry and snap the hair at the end, producing a needle of hair to be used as needed. From there treat the ends of your hair according to your normal routine as they will all be dry and damaged from the action. Always use a light hand as too strong a force on your hair could kill your folicles and force you bald, a common issue with necromancers.

Finally the finger nails, and toe nails by proxy. Clearing any cuticles will be difficult as they are living but gentle pushing with the technique practiced on the hair and skin before can manage them without causing any harm, as well as any damaged hangnails and skin splits hanging from work. From there the issue you need to address is strength and control. You need a much more steady but cutting hand with your magic to shape the nails themselves. Always practice on longer nails first as you can hurt your finger tips with any slip ups, though these are less permanent than the hair as long as youve practiced basic control. From here apply your normal moisturizing lotions and the like, and you care to polishing your nails should be easier with magically rounded nails.

Contemplating: Climate Control and Necromancy

When it comes to components for use in necromancy preservation of said components is key, and the first of many considerations is how humidity and temperature can help and hinder the process.

An arid climate, hot and dry, will be ideal for skeletal parts as they need no musculature for mobility and for the most part the skeleton itself functions well enough in dryness, though bones exposed to extreme heats can become brittle and some hastily made skeletons will be more prone to shattering even without the added issue of baked fragility. More substatial corpses and constructs will have flesh and depending on its quality the flesh will become jerky in little to no time, reducing mobility to a standstill as moisture leaves its form. Revenants can self-manage hydration but that just adds to their carry load depending on the work being done, so travel at night in these locations is recommended overall.

Now hot and humid locations tend to be much more beneficial for undead as they keep the more simplified hydrated, skeletons give off no smells to local predators and only scavengers like insects and vultures will attack your more unkempt undead which can give easy emergency prey for any feeding based undead you may have, as a full vulture can manage a vampire and a handful of ghouls for a day depending on the size. The only real downside is that scents do evolve and carry in humid heat and both yourself and other outside elements could easily pick up on the scent of mobile corpses.

Now cold, both wet and dry can be horrible for a majority of undead as the temperature shock to the various bodies will cause several dramatic issues. A skeleton itself is the easiest to spare the damage but if you havent properly dried and tended to the bones then the moisture inside could expand and crack them into useless shards. The more substatial forms are worse off, with zombies and the like just freezing and breaking until theyre bags of icy muscles and snapped bones. Revenants can wear winter gear and regulate heat but just barely and any cold weather gear at higher extremes will hinder mobility but the vampires have the worst of it.

A fledgling to moderately aged vampire, about 100-250 years at the oldest, can lack the magics or skill to prevent their blood freezing and will just shatter and dust in the cold, even with warm weather gear. I recommend casting protective warming spells to aid them all, but especially the vampires. Such a technique could be used for all situations, but this is outside the perview of necromancy and was only mentioned as there are literally no other good options for managing vampires and zombies in extreme cold weather.

Contemplating: Myself

This blog was always about getting the nonsense I have inaide my head, out. The biggest issue is that a lot of what is in my head has been clouded by things that are traditionally seen as dark or off-putting in their traditional media. Necromancy and cybernetic augmentation both have stigmas created by the original sources, both fictional and mythological in nature. And I love them so much that I want to provide versions of them that draw out what could be good, could be beneficial, in the fictional worlds they exist in because so much of my identity growing up was tied to these things. But just because you want to elevate the good parts of something ad want to change them for the better doesnt mea you can ignore the evila they were born from or metaphors they first were tied to so a lesson about good and evil could be taught.

I am a U.S. citizen, born into a conservative family who was loose with what they understood my upbrining was. I learned so much from both the internet and music that I was never going to be like my parents. I walked alone at night with no one knowing as a teen, my mental health problems went almost entirely ignored, and worst of all I kept making stupid teen mistakes even as an adult. Ive hurt people I cant unhurt, made horrible financial choices and tried to put my life back together out of the shards of all that childhood neglect and adult immaturity on my own shoulders. And now that I know I have Bipolar type 1, know that I'm agender, know all these things that could've given me a leg up against my own bad choices and those that pushed me forward, there's nothing left but the bottom.

And then the election turned the way it did. And I know how the economy is going to slide backwards. And I think I can grind through, and keep my partner stable, and maintain a job despite not getting to come out more actively in public as I had planned. But I don't have faith that I can be myself anywhere but here anytime soon. Everyone has their story, and I won't pretend mine is the worst anyone has read, but I can't be who I want to be unless Im open somewhere, warts and all. Well, not about who I hurt. Thats their story and I won't put that out there if it could ever get back to them and dig up bad memories. Im not here to rake mud. I just had to say something because Im going nuts and this place ia safer than others.
