Sub-division of Necromancy: Corpumancy (Flesh-mancy)

Corpumancy
One of the specialized aspects of necromancy, or a "branch" of it, if you will. There is spirimancy, hemomancy, corpumancy, the exotic crucimancy and finally the "true/classic" necromancy. This page is dedicated to the explanation of the one in the title. 
How does it seperate itself from the other schools of deathly magicks?
As you might imagine, it heavily focuses on the flesh and other tissue in general. Ironically enough, it is actually much closer to life than death in practice, since tissue needs to remain alive in order to function and not rot. Bones can be puppeteered, souls can be enslaved, but tissue is a delicate mechanism. The reason why it is a school of undeath is because its entire existence stems from the fact that "from death, life may prosper", yet all it creates is false life, the very perversion of it in fact. Its primary concern is the repair of the body, which can be either a benevolent or malevolent act.
The uses?
Two corpumancers may be worlds apart when it comes to how they utilise their craft. One could be a healer of the highest degree, capable of reinforcing bones to be like steel and skin like tough leather. The other may have specialized in the reanimation of dead tissue to rise as his empty husks, turning and twisting their creations into abominations of the highest order. To sum it up, corpumancy can affect: healing, reanimation, mutation, growth, fine bodily manipulation.
The lost knowledge
For each of the branches it is possible to find a grimoire which outlines the most important of spells and the exact advancement in the arts. Each of them has a "final" spell which is in fact a costly ritual, considered to be the ultimate goal for any mage following these arts. This is because the ritual would, in some way or form, grant the mage conditional immortality, AKA no more aging (with secondary bonuses being different with each ritual). These require not only rare and expensive items, but a lifetime of study under only and ONLY the branch of necromancy they studied. 
For anyone that wishes a page on one or more of the other branches of necromancy, or if you wish for the actual pictures of the grimoire (basically 'skill trees' off of which I based this page), contact Carnis.
