Control was the key to both her performing style and her persona…To say that she was a superb technician should not be taken as faint praise; art depends on the ability to hit the note you hear, to trace the shape you see with a pen or your body. Dietrich was an artist whose artwork was herself; she applied virtuoso technique to the craft of becoming the image she and her director envisioned. As a performer, she bypasses the usual standards by which acting is judged; naturalism and psychological realism were never her aims.

a necromancer is just a really late healer
“you’re too late, doc, he’s…he’s already dead…”
*cracks knuckles* i didnt get my medical license revoked for nothing
i like idea of a necromancer that can bring back the dead but doesnt know how to cure the living so has to wait for someone to die before bringing them back
“hey doc do you have any splints I think I fractured my ankle”
*cocks gun* no but I’ll do you one better
