Reanimation

Reanimation is a type of high-level magic involving the revival and manipulation of the resuscitated dead. Commonly used to build up large armies, the resilient undead make for excellent soldiers during wartime.

Mechanics
Necromancy is a high-level magic concerning the revival of the dead. The resuscitated dead have their souls seemingly return to their body. As a result, their bodies are reanimated and can function to a limited degree as they did in life. Due to being already dead, the undead are fairly resilient and unable to be "killed" by blood loss. The undead are also capable of using tools and weapons as well as their hands and teeth to attack opponents. The techniques allow the user to control the dead as well, making them essentially slaves to the user's will.

As a drawback, the undead's decaying bodies can limit their actions and they may feel pain. The best method to kill the undead is to completely hack up or destroy the body. Likewise, it requires the constant flow of large amounts of magic power to keep the technique in effect. Also, their tactics and mental capacity can be limited and they may meander or be easily tricked. Similarly, when not directly controlling the undead, they may act on their own and even betray the caster. Enemy mages can also use magic to free an reanimated individual of the caster's control.

When utilizing magic tools like the Glass of Conchita, the tool's magic is used in place of the user's own, allowing even non-magic users the ability to revive a large amount of the dead. The glass' necromancy ritual involves pouring liquid from the glass upon the actual body; if attempting to revive a large amount of corpses, the liquid can be poured on the ground of the general area. After Banica Conchita became the Demon of Gluttony, only those that had died of the Gula disease could be revived. The dead soldiers revived by this ritual have their skin become a ghostly white pallor.
