>>Thanatology is a perversion of that link, so, would it be possible to have a Necromancer whose empathy was intact enough to heal people, but required Consume Flesh and a corpse to heal themselves? Thanatology isn't like 'Empathy for the dead', is it?


This is more an Abasha/Persida/Armifer question but I don't think it'd be possible. Empathy and Necromancy are antithetical, though they do draw from the same well, so it seems like you'd have a matter/antimatter sort of situation if you tried to combine the two in one vessel.

I think a person who actually understands the link and is not just blindly groping for outcomes without the fullness of the empathic sense could potentially be a pretty capable necromancer, but I am pretty sure at that point they would not be an Empath any longer, but a former empath.

But there are no Necromancers who started out as Empaths. For some reason.
