I had a bunch of other information, including paradox and taboo, but wasn't aiming for a full writeup, just mentioning the part that applied to the discussion at hand.  (the paradox was along the lines of being associated with death but never being allowed to cause the death, or even harm, of another being, which connected with the taboo of not harming any other being.  I thought it gave a fairly goodconflict of actions, in which the necromancer will see a person in danger and hope they're dying, but not be able to influence the situation unless they're willing to give up charges.  Many of the spells were similar to the original, though some were modified or replaced to fit with the changes made.)
