If necromancy is a reality, but no laws exist against it, what legal action can happen to a necromancer who raises a spirit? Would there be a difference between a spirit vs some manner of dead body, e.g. a skeleton or zombie? Would there be a difference if the spirit was willing and gave consent to the raising? Would any legal action be criminal or civic in nature? If civic in nature, and assuming the family are the ones taking legal action, would it alter the case if the raised spirit gave consent? Who owns a dead body?

I don't think this is something for the book at present, but I kind of like the idea of a necromancer facing unique legal troubles.

In a similar vein, if a ritualist attempts to summon a demon for bad things, but is prevented from doing so by the good guys, would the cops have anything to arrest the ritualist? Like...if there was sufficient evidence, would that be akin to an attempted terrorist attack?
