Re: In the halls of the Necromancer
"Depend which philosophical bend you take... t'e Platonic Tripartite Theory would support this, as t'e 'spirit' or animus would be used to re-animate the body an is intrinsically tied to the reason an appetite, which would have moved to t'e next life. However t'e Aristotlian Philosophies hold t'e soul rejoins with t'e Anima Mundi, t'e World Soul an thus cannay be taken individually. Under this model t'e zombie re-animated with soul energy that is not associated anymore with any soul in particular. T'en t'ere be t'e Avicennian doctrine, as commented by Ibn al-Nafis in Ibn-Sīnā's Canon of Medicine that holds t'e soul is last an least part of t'e Tenfold Intellect, that a soul is 'a mere part of nature an inconsequential'. Myself, I'm more a student of t'e Kantian model, t'e soul is t'e limit of a person's knowledge an is t'e transcendental rationalization. But t'en as an Elf, I am immortal on this world an have no need for immortality in t'e next."
Jareth pauses, scratches behind an ear and then starts again, "Course this completely ignores that t'e soul is not needed to make t'e zombie. Any spirit energy, even that formed by t'e magic itself suffices. An t'en t'ere are t'e other types of zombies, those mention by Wade Davis in T'e Ethnobiology of t'e Haitian Zombie which are created by poison an ridden by possessing spirit. But t'en t'ere debate that those type are even dead..."
Jareth trials off when he realizes he has begun lecturing. "Right. None of that be of use. Suffice to say, don't worry Mario. Ya soul go on t'e afterlife, which be promised by yer god, an t'e Plutocrats probably cannay bring it back an torment it in zombie form."
Jareth turns back to Dagon, "T'en t'ese guy is useless to ya? Want us to take it back?"
