		+	Necromancy involves a deep understanding of The Body, The Soul, and the relationship between both. A Necromancer has a deeper understanding of the movements of corpses and the intricacies of souls than most, and it is through that lens that one may use the Astral Dissection: as this Spell concludes, a colorless third eye appears upon the Necromancer's forehead, and as she touches a still subject, her fingers become colorless-light scalpels that cut through the soul and reveal the truths within.
