I have to admit magic of that kind is... beyond my inherent knowledge. I don't doubt that it exists, and know of effects from my world that aren't dissimilar.
[ But casting such spells, making a reality of such speculations... he wouldn't know where to start. ]
From what I know of witchcraft, components are not always as important as intent.
Our magic is quite different from this as well. As far as my knowledge goes, there is no magic to bring back the dead.
[Only plague to turn them into daemons over and over again. The Usurper's immortality is magic beyond even the Astrals.]
Intent? You mean force of will bringing this to reality? While I admire the strength needed for it, you can't do anything without something to begin with. There had to be a base, some kind of source.
[ Not even Creation happened entirely out of nothing. And humans, while designed and planned for, got their through evolution. Angels are light and energy given shape. They were created, but not without that light and those energies existing in the first place. It was God's Will that gave shape to the base, though. And it's a witch's will that turns herbs and incantations into spells. ]
The question then becomes what source was drawn from, and whose will was exacted upon it.
