Although Reese was the last one expected to come up with the solution he was probably the closest so far. [b][color=00aeef]"That's actually a pretty good point, but bodies need to be controlled by something. Alchemy can do a lot but Virology would make more sense. Unless it is a poison being spread and able to multiply in the body, but that's not likely. Even then the poison would only alter the brain to make them crazy. They would still need a soul to move on their own and I suspect the necromancers would be able to tell if the zombies have a soul or not. Then if the bodies have no soul the body could be hijacked by the virus or parasite. I feel like that's most likely, but the weird outbreaks could mean someone is spreading the parasite. We do need someone who is good at analyzing these things. I can freeze a zombie to preserve it. Then analysis would be easier."[/color][/b] Humans definitely weren't likely to acquire this feat by magic. A few cults probably tried to do something like this, but they would try to do it with the favor of a god or something. It's much more likely that someone has been studying this and created it. It's gonna be tough finding this guy. We would have to hope he can't teleport which he probably can, and that we would be able to catch him before he left or that we could predict where he was going and meet him. Both seem rather impossible. There is the possibility that this was an accident. There has to be many out there trying to stop this. [b][color=00aeef]"We need to find someone with an understanding of virology. If no gods feel up to this task there has to be some mortals out there who are researching this as well. We should get them some samples to help investigate this further."[/color][/b] [@Slendy]
