It would be nice if notifications were a thing.— the necromancers, the healers and the 'proper sorcerers' (Bessis, Attaryl, the minor schools) have always been distinct and disparate. They don't overlap in terms of remit, and they don't butt heads. The high position of the Bessis and Attaryl and their overall court influence make them the envy of most practitioners on a practical level. But necromancers wouldn't feel threatened by their existence, or the reverse. Attitudes within the sorcery schools towards necromancy largely vary, from interest to tolerance to disgust.
