[ Kevin Regnard is seated at a desk. Several books are open before him: thick volumes with heavy vellum pages intricately decorated with illuminated lettering. It’s darker in this part of the library, the Restricted Section, to preserve the ancient tomes. Fairies float about in the air, lending their light; Kevin would be more grateful for this, except they keep making off with his quills. He has been taking careful notes, and has already covered over a stack of parchment papers with his cramped handwriting.

His face, when he looks into the locket, has that pinched look of too much reading, and his shoulders are raised and stiff; clearly he hasn’t moved from this spot for hours. His expression is dubious, conflicted. He glances away from the locket almost as soon as he activates it, as if he were going to shut it off again without saying anything.

But finally: ]

My lords and ladies. Gentlemen; gentlewomen. I am given to understand that any skill we learn here, we might bring back to our lands after this war is won. Thus I… I beg your assistance. If there is any among you with knowledge of magical healing…

[ Now he looks up. His single red eye bores into the locket, burning like hellfire. ]

I wish to learn how to raise the dead.

[Yeah he seems like he's in an A+ mental state no worries here!!! 8D

Not. B(

But she does sincerely wish to help--getting him off this course, that is.]

I know that you shouldn't do it. There were three witches who had stolen a power and raised the dead with it, but they were changed into monsters of rot and darkness that only wanted to destroy everything that was in their path. They weren't human at all.

[That was a fun year.]

If someone was killed with a curse and turned into ghost or a spirit, something might be able to be done about that, but that is only if magic was involved, and breaking it might mean that they'll pass on, if it can be broken at all. If there wasn't any, well....

[Well, there's the Dark Gift, but to be honest, she's debating very heavily on telling him that. She might, but that's something else all together.]

But nothing good comes of it or trying to, especially if there is more than one person you want to raise.

[ Zeroing in on the important parts of all that: ]

So what you are saying is... it's dangerous, but possible. How?
