Necromancy/Body Science

The magical study and manipulation of souls, life energy, and organic tissue.

Body Science
Considered by many to be a polite term for the necromantic arts, body science involves communicating with dead souls and manipulating living or dead organic tissue within legally defined boundaries. Practitioners use their own reserves of magical power to accomplish their desired effects; in circumstances where they do not possess sufficient power, they may sacrifice part (or all) of their own life force to make up the difference.

Body science can be used to set bones; accelerate, stimulate, or otherwise enhance natural healing and metabolic processes; and obtain information from and about the souls of the deceased.

Necromancy
Necromancy is the illegal manipulation of souls, life energy, and organic tissue. Typically this involves the practitioner using the life force of another creature to power their magic, and/or enslaving a soul to serve as the animating force for dead tissue or an inorganic construct.
