The problems with necromancy.

Scholomance:

Dear Ty,

I am so happy that you are having such a great time in the Scholomance and so proud of you for being at the top of the class. As expected of my Holmes! You are the brightest and best shadowhunter I've met so I am not surprised. I can only say: I knew it! Don't mind those idiots who whisper behind your back, they are envy and simply can't understand your uniqueness.

By the way, Tessa gave birth yesterday! The baby is a boy! They named him William, in honor to Jem's parbatai and Tess' deceased husband. He looks just like Jem but he has golden eyes. Tess says that it comes from her demon blood. Now that answers the mystery of why Herondale's from her bloodline have golden eyes like Jace. I am very happy about the new family member.

Jet has been teaching me all about being a shadowhunter, he says that I am a quick learner and in no time I will be ready to go demon hunting with you guys. Tessa, on the other hand, says that my magic abilities are powerful but I have horrible control over them. What else could it be expected? I am a Nepheline with a fairy ancestor!

About my healing... I am getting much better. I no longer want to escape when things don't go right and when Liam was born I did not think Tessa and Jem would get rid off me. What about you? Have you finally gotten closer about Liv's death? Do you think we can meet during the summer? Maybe you could come to the London Institute for the summer...

Yours truly,

Kit Herondale.

Ty smiled contently as he read the letter, giggling to himself. He was so happy since he got back in contact with Kit and that he could call the blond his. He was glowing with joy and satisfaction, that he did not felt the year pass by and that summer was already around the corner. But still he did not let it bother him and wrote a letter back, telling him about how much he had improved about his sister dependency and that he was was ready to let her go if he needs to, to fix the breach he had opened with his necromancy.

After lighting the letter with fire, he marched out his room and towards the restricted part of the library. Only graduates were allowed in or the top five students. Good thing that Carmen and Ty fit into that category. They had been spending the last months trying to find out the repercussions of opening a breach between the death and living and a way to fix it without the use of necromancy.

From what they've found out Liv was not a normal ghost, those who stay in earth have a pending mission that they need to fulfill before passing to the other realm. That mission keeps them human and anchored to earth. However, Liv had already passed to the afterlife and her soul was in peace. Disrupting that comes with great consequences.

A soul that had nothing to anchor them to earth or a mission to keep them human, was a joker card. A bomb waiting to explode at any moment. Liv's ghost could be easily influenced by her surroundings and could end up becoming the puppet of a dark witch or warlock to do their bidding. She might even end up hurting her family. It also means that she had no way to pass to the other world without being forced back. But that means the use of necromancy and that was a big NO in Ty and Carmen's books. They've learned from past mistakes.

So, they are trying to find a way to protect her somehow and help her pass on. Find her a mission or anchor her to earth somehow. Not that they had any results yet.

Another problem that had came up was that Ty had became a beacon to creatures of the death. Like vampires, ghosts, reapers, etc. They can sense the black magic from the necromancy in him and are attracted to it. However, the way to fix that was easy. Ty find out in one of the Spiral Labyrinth's books a protection charm with induced glamour that would help him out. Magnus was up to help them, he had not problem. However, they had to find an especial kind red ruby, similar to the one from the Lightwood Heirloom Necklace. It took time but at the end Mark was able to find some of that material, given to him as a present from Kieran who had brought it from the Unseelie Court. Good thing that Mark didn't ask what it was for.
