Has anyone has actually died in this place and stayed dead?

[Faust debates adding more because... Well. Context would probably be useful here but he's also not interested in completely outing his situation for all to see. So that's all you get.]

I'm afraid not. Apparently it's commonplace for people who've died before coming here to be brought back to life, but I believe myself to be a special case.

[spectralsnipe]

Someone told me about a "lich". Is that you?

[necroyalty]

Unless there's been any new lich arrivals, that would be me.

[spectralsnipe]

So you're a caster. Where did you get your abilities?

[He's familiar enough with casters thanks to plenty working for Reunion and people who can manipulate dead things thanks to Mephisto, but he wonders how different this is. This doesn't even have much to do with his main question- for now at least- and is more because of his own curiosity.]

[necroyalty]

Given enough time and dedication, anyone can learn to use magic where I'm from.

[spectralsnipe]

I see.

What is it like?

[necroyalty]

Exhausting. But exhilarating all the same.

You study the notes other mages left behind. You take notes until your fingers bleed. You spend sleepless nights wondering if you got it right...

But the rewards are rich.

[spectralsnipe]

Do you still feel pain?
