- "Though some might say there is not much point to turning the earth into one gigantic graveyard, these people are fools and will never understand anyway."
- ― Neil Zawacki, How to be a Villain
- "The dead make good soldiers. They can't disobey orders, never surrender, and don't stop fighting when a random body part falls off."

Capabilities

They can also communicate with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge.
