He also wasn't very nice towards her younger sisters.

* DisciplinesOfMagic: There are 7 schools of magic: Evocation, Transmutation, Conjuration, Divination, Abjuration, Necromancy, and Illusion. It's common for a mage to know spells from multiple schools, even if the game's character description will only depict one of them (for example, it says that Beatrice Frega's Arcane Art is Illusion, but she also knows Necromancy and Conjuration spells). Necromancy itself is the least studied discipline because there is a stigma about raising undead armies, but healing spells are known by many mages and classified as Necromancy too. The implication is that Necromancy is the discipline of both life and death, like two sides of the same coin.
