Yes— that's it. I'm the adept; Camilla, the cavalier, is not. In the Nine Houses we consider necromancers human, but outside of it, not so much. Technically, we've got a few otherwise vestigial organs that act, you know, less vestigial, but the parts are the same.

[Necromancer 101.]

As for what I do... functionally, I'm just a wizard with a different medium- the body. Sixth psychometry is my specialty, but we all learn the basics of spirit, flesh, and bone.

[A beat; he very clearly likes to talk about this, it's a massive part of his, hm, entire life, but people have been unsettled by the flesh and bone.]

We don't run around desecrating the dead for fun and imprisoning souls. But I could lock a door with the proper blood ward, for example. Not explicitly connected to "Master Warden," which refers to the guardianship of the Sixth Library, broadly, along with the day-to-day leadership role.
