    Something has to be moving the skeleton, either it's someone's magic or a technology that's all it can be really. If it were techonology then Siphon MP/Tp and Drain couldn't work. But there isn't anything like that on the skeletons body to prove that. So it can only be magic which should be able to be absorbed.

    You never know, maybe they are revived through nanobot, which your eyes can't see due to the size. The Beyond is teaming with Holographic Spirit and Nano-Enhanced Undead! Which explains why Cure hit them hard, because Magic screws up Science, unless it's Magitek!

    I think it even more strange that you can drain MP from the undead with Stygian Spikes...

    Didn't know that. Definitely should work with Siphon then.

    Sadly, emphasizing this inconsistency/oversight will most likely result in a nerf to Stygian Spikes rather than a buff to Drain TP/MP.....
