Kit: me when i see visions of a destroyed future

Ty: when you what

I was curious about why the stakes for necromancy seem so much higher for Ty and Livvy as compared to all the other examples we’ve seen in the series so far? Aside from Jace’s resurrection, there don’t seem to be any world-altering consequences for, say, Jesse’s resurrection or even Annabel’s. Lucie also faced pretty much no consequences for resurrecting Jesse, meanwhile Ty is met with shock and anger and other varying negative emotions from anyone who learns about his necromancy, particularly Ragnor and Magnus. Is there a particular reason, like the mode of necromancy in this case?

I’m looking forward to the release of tlkof!! 🥰🥰🥰

Jace, being literally resurrected by God, is definitely not a situation where anyone would call it "necromancy." :)

Jesse wasn't really dead, and Lucie used her own power, not demonic/evil magic, so I wouldn't call that necromancy either; therefore it doesn't carry the negative repercussions necromancy does. It's a unique unrepeatable situation.

Malcolm was despised by everyone for the necromancy he performed, and also Annabel murdered him for doing it so I'd say those are bad consequences! We also don't ever see how it would have gone for him had Annabel and Malcolm remained alive for many more years but it would only have grown more destructive.

The kind of necromancy Ty did is going to have very bad results, not just for the world but for him. Ragnor and Magnus are correct to be angry/upset because Ty has put himself directly at terrible risk, it's not just a moral question — it's something that could kill people, including him. We are years along in the results of the necromancy in TLKOF so we'll see that firsthand.

*cause if you think about it. Cassie keeps stressing how current belial is totally different from TLH aka not related to Tessa and her blackthorn descendants (and therefore if he was Kit’s father, making Kit not related to Ty). Belial wanted nothing more than to live among humans, or as one?! Rosemary’s hatred of shadowhunters would def be compatible with his. New Belial supposedly doesn’t care about the same things as old belial, and supposedly doesn’t care about the herondales yet was hanging around Roland and Auraline, seemingly knowing a good amount about their situation. Kit can fire a gun previously only able to be fired by a male heir of Belial. We still know really nothing about Johnny Rook, except for the possible shadowhunter lineage rumors and the shapeshifting magic (which is belial’s main thing). Lastly, belial’s domain is deceit and necromancy (one being Johnny rook’s speciality and the other being the thing he helped Malcolm Fade with)

And Ty being like, yeah it only works like 1/3 of the time. Thing is janky af. Sorry abt that.
