I can't believe this thread is still going... fun!

A lot of this debate depends on your point of view of what exactly is happening when you raise a zombie. Are you returning a sliver of that body's soul/persona from some sort of after-life? Or are you simply animating a dead vessel and controlling it, like a puppeteer tugging on the strings of a lifeless toy?

My guess is the latter.

Either way, the necromancy spells are probably right where they should be. When I first posed the idea I just thought that dealing with the undead and necromancy seemed more like a priest/cleric domain, and their school of Restoration. When I think of 'conjuration' I imagine some pointy-hatted wizard making things appear from thin air, like rabbits and demon lords.
