Yeah, that sounds fine. We have others that want to dabble in necromancy too. I suppose it's not so much the potential of the power, but more how you use it. Some of the powers here could be seriously op, but giving them time to develope is part of the story too. Your character could become very powerful later on. 

Edit; is the twist that he's undead? Because that would be cool.
