Put a mouse spirit in the same skeleton as the crab. Maybe the crab will eat it and grow stronger.

You take the spirit from the mouse and place it into the skeleton with the crab spirit. As you watch the two spirits seem to grow indistinct and overlap before solidifying into something different and singular. The combined spirit still mostly resembles the crab but slightly changed. Not more fish like just a bit larger and different.

Eh, let's allow Esme some rest before we start badgering her about such things. We're hyper right now off of her mana, recall.

A valid point. I forgot she was resting lol.

I amend to "Ask Esme at the next convenient opportunity".

Let's experiment with the flexibility of undead. For example, what happens if we try to stick a piece of cloth between a skeleton's lower and upper arm bones? Can we pull a bone off a skeleton and then reattach it (perhaps with the use of some of our Mana)?

Another experiment I'd like to try is how much we can use our power offensively or defensively How quickly can we reanimate something? Could we, for example, reanimate a door to force it to unlock or force it close and remain closed? What about reanimating a card so we can more easily throw it to our target? What about reanimating someone's shoelaces to make them get tied up and cause that someone to trip? What about making something hover between us and our target? Or maybe instead of hovering we can make invisible magical legs for it, like how skeletons have invisible magical joints.

Finally, it's a bit morbid, but I'd like to try finding a living thing and reanimating part of its body or sticking a spirit in it while it's still alive. Maybe it heals them. Maybe it gives them power. Maybe they end up possessed. Maybe we just can't do that. Whatever the case, it would be useful to know.

+1, though we already know non corpses such as shoelaces and doors are much more tiring to reanimate than corpses. The one about putting the spirit in something still alive sounds good though, we are not using Esme though, let’s find a different living thing for it first

Definitely not Esme. Or Bruce or Mary. Basically no humans, preferably not even government ones (at least for our initial testing)

We could always try smushing phantoms into parts of ourself. Find a phantom with really good aim and stick it in our arm or something.
Or maybe graft octopus limbs to ourself and then put thinky phantoms in there to enhance our intellect and give us fresh ideas? Could become a real monster if we wanted to, I think.

Agreed, no humans yet. Let’s use a rabbit

Ok that's really, really cool and also suuuuper dangerous until we know more about the mechanics that govern our existence.

Totally support this once we know our arm isn't going to sprout lethal claws and also gain sentience or some such.

Well, if we're in a combat situation, we could tie an animate arm on the back of our shirt, give it a gun and tell it to shoot people who aren't us. But then you have to make sure it doesn't accidentally shoot us or sometime we care about. But if things we puppet have part of ourselves in them, maybe it will be smart enough to know? Maybe we can try with something harmless, like a flashlight

Hmm... We should call it "Gun Angel".
