[SPELL] Speak with Dead

[Alvirin]

I would propose rather than having to wear an amulet of communication, wearing a holy symbol to "sense" the realms of the dead.

Wouldn't that in effect make the holy symbols communication as well? I'm not certain how the coding works for the amulets, but I think the holy symbols would have to be changed in hard code to work as such. I have another question about the spell "Speak with Dead". Since it is within the sphere of necromancy, shouldn't a necromancer be able to cast it as well? Last time I checked, it was a cleric only prayer/spell. I thought, at some point in the past, necromancers had the spell in their list, but I could be wrong.

First I want to say that I'm not disagreeing with your point here. I don't see what harm it would do to add this particular spell to a necromancer's list....but, most prayers that are divine only have some school of magic listed on them (I haven't looked at the helpfile for every single prayer so I won't say all). I don't think conjurer's should be able to heal, or that invokers should be able to call down divine favor just because those prayers come from those certain areas. When I see the school listed for a divine prayer, I just always saw that as a little hint into how the prayer works. Now that I think about it more I may change my mind and say I think it should stay divine only. It just seems like more of a priestly thing.

I see your point, Aveline, now that you bring it up. Since it works with only the dead, it would of course fall under the necro's baliwick, without necessarily being a spell a necro could cast.
