Whoa. This was some deep stuff. Anna flipped through her textbook a little, reading a few additional notes about the practice before attempting any elaboration. She finally raised her hand, thinking of something she felt was worth bringing up. "Professor, it says here that some forms of Necromancy involve the calling of spirits in order to take possession of another. That'd be an example of the dark aspect of the practice," she said. "It also says that other times the spirits are called to simply tell the future, which could be an example of the good that can come from it."
