Turned into a bit of setting, where powerful mages would have there remains enchanted to help there descendants.

I also allowed them to be enchanted as grimores, aspected around the deceased favorite spells.

They were also quite useful for necromancy spells.

It sounds kind of like my idea of using the iron in a person's blood to make a necromantic sword. Of course, the average adult human male only has about 3 g of iron in their body ( a bit less for females), so you would need to exanguinate on the order of 100 people to get your blade. So you end up with a blood iron blade of mass murder - just perfect for your evil undead sorcerer.
