I think Necromancer is a better trope to describe Cassiopeia's power than Back From The Dead


* BackFromTheDead: Cassiopeia's power is this to the point it horrified her mother as a child. Because she used it to revive one of her coven sisters, the Fate has her exiled from New Orleans. She also used it to revive a man named Thomas who washed up in her swamp.
