Wow, this is going again? Sweet!
So...
Wow, I have missed a lot, anyone wanna give me some highlights?
Valerik Blows up several times, and beats several people up, makes a bunch of stuff, and becomes a quadriplegic for a bit before regrowing his arm with special spontaneous magic and reattaching his leg, he now has a pegleg, one arm, and one prosthetic foot, after beating up the guys, he turned the city into dirt, signed a contract with Ioun, goddess of research, Turf, the Demon of the Oasis, Gerod, Froggy's Player Character, And some other groups he has not met yet, H&V Anvil, which are Vulcan and Hephaestus and Mike's discount chop shop, owned and operated by Mike, a demon.
The main thing you need to know is that a bunch of nobles are coming back in a few hours, ready to congratulate Valerik on being a hero, a bunch of nomads who helped them are coming back to check for your body and expecting bandits to clean up, which you already did, you need to pick up the king when you get a chance, and neither the nobles nor the Nomads are aware that you Turned the city into dirt, which you plan on blaming the bandits for by planting a dirt Brush in their camp, or just giving them one.
Oh and you are fighting natural undead and looting them in an easy mode free for all, the undead will burn into ash if they are outside in about 20 minutes, leaving nothing,
You could make a golem with the "Therapeutic", "Kind", "Caring" and "Empathetic" Adjectives, application of it might in fact work for those purposes, depending on just how much mana your pour into those adjectives, and what the golem looked like and was built from, be creative and don't be afraid to get messy.
None of them have souls, The snake bones contain the remnants of that evil, along with a large amount of mana sealed within them. the snake bones you can clearly tell are magical in nature, which is why their bodies were restored with sand. Simple undead would exhibit those powers if those bones were used, it also has, just for a glance, powerful untapped magic besides.
Eventually, all of your talents you are gaining will round back to necromancy, just because of how talented you are at it. Already you can use Mutate to cause highly unusual effects. ones that might bypass the downsides of making non-undead minions with certain spells.
