My cancelable take on Sorcerer Twitter is that necromancy is ecologically and ethically sound, but enchantment spells are almost strictly evil.
My cancelable take on Sorcerer Twitter is that folks need to consider the local ecosystem before they curse people into animal forms.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.
