Animating small dead things, he can revive someone/thing that has died recently but it exists in a sort of "unlife". It will decay with time until the body can no longer contain the soul. He can summon/communicate with spirits.
His powers are pretty taxing on him. Small things aren't too much of a problem, but larger constructs/healing spells/summons can drain him pretty fast.

Bio:
Jericho Sangros was born and raised in suburbia. The second son of a middle class family that loved pets. On his fifth birthday his parents presented him with his first pet; a finch. The delighted child would watch the bird for hours as it jumped and flitted around his room. A few weeks passed before the incident with his brother’s cat occurred. While playing with his bird, the cat wandered into the room and began swatting at the now terrified bird. Although it managed to get away from the cat, the finch’s wing was visibly broken and he could no longer fly.
That night Jericho gently took the bird from it’s cage and used magic for the first time. A clear image of the bird flying around his room entered his mind followed by bones popping themselves together. As this happened a warmth grew in his chest. He inhaled deeply, imagined the warmth leaving his chest through his arms, and exhaled. The bird looked up at him, then at its wing. Its wing twitched slightly which was more movement than it had shown since the accident. Again he placed the imagine in his mind and tried again.
It was crude, but by the end of the night the finch was able to flutter a few inches off the ground. Happy and exhausted he went to bed dreaming of the other things he could do if he set his mind to it.
Over the following 13 years, Jericho attended public schools. During the day he would attend school as a normal child, while at night he would hone his healing abilities and experiment with other forms of magic. He tried “healing” something that had been long dead to no avail. Instead he found he could animate the bones if he tried hard enough. While he was able to bring back something that was more recently dead, it wasn’t true life and would slowly rot as time and the environment took its toll. This blossomed into a deep respect for life and death as well as an interest in anatomy and physiology.
His experiments have given him a very logic approach to things. He is passionate but strives for objectivity in his thoughts and actions. Now in college, Jericho hopes to increase his knowledge on both anatomy and magic as well as find a safe place to conduct his experiments. (none of the experiments involve murder..I know necromancy has a bit of a stigma.)
