the necromancy student, rune

your average necromancer dabbling in various other areas of spellcraft.

[the-necromantic-allure]

no, you may not have my name.

you may address me by it, but it is not yours to own or use as you wish. i am rune, lover of death and decay, and a student of the delicate art of necromancy, amongst other studies. you may refer to me with he/they pronouns, if you must acknowledge my existence.

i may not have a terrifying tower or a marvelous mansion like many of you, but my forest has its own charm… and, of course, the fog helps me procure more projects for my education. and the forest guardian is simply the cutest thing i’ve ever seen — he’s very sweet.

but that’s enough of my ramblings — i do have my studies to return to. those grimoires won’t transcribe themselves…

the eyes? ah… don’t mind them.

they like to watch.

took a brief nap. as it turns out, i was only sleeping for one month — alas, i have missed the time frame for a proper hibernation, it seems

… and no, i am not locking myself into a cursed slumber just to catch a few more z’s

[mold-wizard]

I maintain that the tormented souls of the damned constitute a valid artistic medium.

[the-necromantic-allure]

agreed. truly, it’s a shame that it’s not accepted as art as it should be. i think we all deserve a lil bit of artistic endeavors with the damned souls, as a treat

for my presentation i will demonstrate to everyone the might of necromancy, for this shall usher in a new age of creativity and innovation that every wizard worth their salt must strive forth in order to further themselves!

i present to you…

Genius. Absolutely brilliant. You madlad.

The music they played absolutely moved me to my very core. I am instantly inspired to impose and further a better future for myself.

You are a promising prospect, and I look forward to witness you at the height of your glory furthermore. I pay my due respects to you, Rune.

[the-necromantic-allure]

thank you, thank you! with further support from my professors and willing patrons, we may even establish this project as a wandering performance that tours around the globe — stay tuned as we figure out the details~

[the-necromantic-allure]

dreams are so weird sometimes

like, what do you mean a crow called me into the forest so i followed it down a long winding path across a river and into a meadow where i discovered flesh-eating butterflies that i immediately decided to feed my blood to

is it a metaphor for something? are those butterflies a real thing i’ll find sometime? should i start crossbreeding different species to create them? or is it just some random unrelated dream my mind came up with?

please don’t tell my oneiromancy professor idk what this means please i don’t wanna be turned into a beetle today

sorry there’s a little something on your face, let me just

oh shit oh fuck sorry i thought i saw a spider, did you turn to ashes? damn didn’t mean to do that, sorry, do you need help reconstructing yourself? perchance in a necromantic fashion whereupon you’re reanimated and running off of death magic?

[4-him-unhinged-wizard]

rune, you sly necromancer. My face has been flamed by a dragon before so I'm used to it. Nothing a little regeneration potion and fire resistance amulet can't fix. Nice try tho with ur crafty pryomancy

[the-necromantic-allure]

aww, drats. looks like i’ve gotta level up my scheming and tomfoolery stat before i try this again… and just come up with a new plan entirely so it’s not expected the next time around

thanks for being my test subject shenanigans advisor!

[4-him-unhinged-wizard]

You're welcome :3

Btw would you like a dragon skull for no apparent reason? Perhaps an aspiring lad like you would like to reanimate a dragon sometime.. so I could kill it again.

[the-necromantic-allure]

if you’re good with me watching you re-kill it, then i’d be happy to reanimate anything for you! a bit of violence and recreational murder is the perfect way to spend a day, after all

reduce the wastefulness of society;

reuse the carcasses laying around;

reanimate a corpse today!

side effects may include the stench of decay clinging to you no matter how you clean, mobs of angry villagers chasing you out of town, pesky adventurers invading your home to rob you of all your hard work, and your own risen dead trying to turn you into one of them. not every necromancer will be affected equally by these conditions. usage of necromancy may result in headaches, migraines, difficulty realizing the mortality of a body made from flesh, or even death. contact your local graveyard today to see if necromancy is for you.

studying these hell-forsaken rituals for my osteomancy exams and i accidentally reanimated it into a cat-bird skeleton thing. turns out those bones were from two different creatures, oops

at least it likes me. guess i have a new familiar now? anyone have name ideas or should i consult my trees again

[rat9irl]

i wish i was a wizard

[the-necromantic-allure]

it’s never too late to become a wizard

“haha look, rune’s learning runes” wow look at you being original, i’m sure you thought you were so smart when you couldn’t cast a fireball and instead threw a glass of fireball whiskey and made pretty doe eyes at the professor to try and get passing marks, you blithering fool of an amoeba

[lokradan]

So when the cleric brings someone back from the dead it's "a miracle", and "the will of the divines", but when I do it, I'm "perverting the natural order", and "shouldn't be using skeletons to subvert labour laws."

They took away my hexing permit for this, fucking hypocrites.

[the-necromantic-allure]

the sad reality of everyday revolutionary necromancer versus Big Corporate Cleric

[twocrowsforjoy]

the vibe i bring to the function

[the-necromantic-allure]

let me help u hold that steady…
