Egi, egi... how about attuning to the dead?

[AxelBranford]

Because, for starters, that sounds like something a Necromancer would try to do and there is little chance we can become one without becoming dirtbags.

Also, there are several times where people try this and all they get is a primal.

Well, not actually. A Necro "bring back to life". In the quest, the Sari-egi was not the original sari. Just a manifest of the allagan mach.
Would be just the looks of the aether manifest, not actually the npc.
