Enough, yes. [Something he didn't have to steal, back in the Library. Lucky!] At least necromancy comes with a failsafe — several, if I think about it. An ordinary person getting their hands on something powered by necromancy won't manage to do anything with it, no matter how clever the machinery is.
[Which is a thing that has its pros and cons, he thinks. Necromancy is broadly a destructive art for the Empire to wield against its enemies, and yet he's spent most of his life trying to reverse engineer medical marvels out of its twin, a thing pointless if only necromancers can use it. Viktor's technology provides for the people — and could make just as terrible a mess, it sounds like.
Truly, they are the most long-suffering academics in any world, anywhere.
That "stabilization" and "makes everything float" are, apparently, supposed to happen together is intriguing? He thinks about it, amused.]
Master Warden, if you want to be specific. I wouldn't say no to an afternoon floating around the room. But I would bring my notebook.
