Frozenhero1 "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."

If it's the latter, then it's telekinesis (alteration or conjuration) or it's restoration. I don't like the idea of restoration being "good" magic, it is inconsistent and doesn't make sense. Which is why it's ok for vampires to use healing spells.
