I'm not saying it never makes sense. It's just sloppy to allow such an obvious incongruity between the lore and the gameplay.

[ At least Willow has his back - and at least John is showing off some more of his necromancy-based tricks. Though that does remind him... ]

Willow and I both come from dimensions where necromantic practices and holy practices tend to be diametrically opposed - at least in regards to things like vampires. I take it it's different in yours?
