Why Simon?

--- Quote from: dspringer1 on September 12, 2017, 02:43:44 PM ---The biggest argument against Simon being Cowl is really that Cowl was a major discipline of Kemler. Hard to argue that Simon could learn necromancy so well and NOT be obviously tainted magically speaking.

Necromancy used against humans is what taints a person. If Simon worked on nonhumans like animals, he would be free of taint.
Also, whose to say Simon didn't die and surf into a prepared body?
Rasins:
Regarding the taint ...
I've gotten the impression that all members of the SC have SOME taint. They wouldn't have gotten the power they have if they hadn't made deals, or done things that are pushing close to the edges of the laws.
kazimmoinuddin:
What if Simon was used as a sacrifice or summoning? Cowl could be an undead necromancer bound to Simon form.
wardenferry419:
that sounds interesting.

--- End quote ---
Everything a practitioner does seems to leave some sort of signature on their aura, but in that particular case I think it would show as traces of dark but not exactly evil.
What's most perverted about the way Grevane or Corpsetaker raise undead is that they're enslaving human zombies / ghosts to their will. Kumori presumably would have picked up something more similar to the hints of darkness Harry got from raising Sue - in her case because she was saving a life with dark power but not compelling him to obey her, and in Harry's case because it wasn't a person.
