"Now," Alastor said, his voice calm but filled with the weight of a professor on the verge of assigning a lifetime's worth of homework, "to truly master necromancy, Mythos Academy will be your best bet. Learning how to create an Arch Lich isn't something you can just wing. This isn't a weekend project. You're going to need to learn a lot of theory, apply that theory meticulously, and then ensure everything is tied together seamlessly. One mistake, and you'll have an oversized skeleton throwing tantrums instead of terror."
I nodded, the weight of his words sinking in. The process sounded daunting. Arch Liches weren't like simple skeletons or zombies you could purchase from a black-market necromancer's outlet. No, this required finesse. Magical programming, as he explained earlier—connecting aspects like an artist painting on a canvas while also being a code-writer debugging an entire system.
