[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1765428, member: 5777"] As I, and others, have quoted from the srd items that prove what I have said to a very high degree I think you should start stating useful things in your posts. This last post of yours says nothing relevant to the topic at all except to imply that my reasoning was not addressing your point. But, since it directly contradicted your point useing the srd as a source then my assumption is that you are currently simply trying to ignore what I have said. That is your perogative, freedom to think as you will of course, but it matters not at all here. I will state it at least in part yet again. Your extrapolation from speak with dead to say that the soul imprint is tormented by animation has some very serious flaws. Of which we have that there is nothing about the soul mentioned in animate dead, the soul imprint is effectively made up soley (heh) for that spell and it is not able to remember anything put to it after death (ie it does not react), and the two spells in question work under completely different sets of conditions (part of which is that speak with dead is language dependant on what the deceased knew in life, animated dead has nothing remotely like that in need). So, while they are both spells that are cast on a body, that is where they stop being similar. Conclusions being sought after for understanding of the evil descritpor simply do not come from the speak with dead spell. They are too dissimilar and have effectively nothing in common (even disintegrate may be cast on a dead body, but I doubt anyone will try to draw parallels from it, except that possibly it is yet another example of doing things to dead bodies not being evil) [/QUOTE]
