Wizard bones, especially the long ones for staves and wands and the skulls to contain their ghost or knowledge, have been a staple of Warhammer 'gross ingredient' lists since 1st edition.
This makes a lot of intuitive sense to me -- the long bone stuff, anyway. Why is dragon bone so valuable for staves? Because it is easily conducive to being steeped in a Wind, and if you get the right dragon it comes pre-steeped. What's another species famous for its mutability when steeped in the Winds? Mathilde's bones would probably make a great Ulgu-channeling implement, especially after another couple more decades.
Thanks to the seed of regrowth, it's even sustainable! Sure, a Mathilde staff might cost an arm and a leg but you get what you pay for.
Unfortunately the Seed of Regrowth cannot regenerate limbs specifically because people started thinking of ways to abuse such a capability in a manner similar to this.Thanks to the seed of regrowth, it's even sustainable!

Didn't we regenerate a limb versus alkaseltzer? Or maybe we just reattached it.
Yeah, which makes it difficult to judge who's the greatest necromancer according to their biggest ritual accomplishments, so we kinda have to look at other achievements and character vibes, like how Kemmler's shtick is having built upon all the knowledge of his forebears to the point of creating his own Lore of Necromancy+10.
No, Morathi took part in Malekith's massed covens of warlocks, who collectively caused the Sundering.
The point is that when each book repeats the claim right down to the same phrasing, then at some point you have to acknowledge that this isn't entirely a considered and deliberate lore statement, and may well have been at least in part just copying and pasting old material to save time.
No, he just stabbed Mathilde in the intestines. No limbs were removed. You might be thinking of how Mathilde shot herself through the hand to intimidate Qrech early in their relationship (and then healed it), or how she risked a hand when sticking it into the Liminal Realm she ended up making.
He gutted us with his hand and injured multiple major organs which we subsequently healed with the Seed of Regrowth. The only limb loss experienced during that fight was by Alkharad.
One could see it that way but without any statements by authors or authorities we kinda have to take it as fact.
People aren't stupid either. If their noble says « wizards will do a thing and the plague will stop » then the plague stops, they will remember shit like that too. And who's talking of putting the riot down? Just set a big blob of heavily armed soldiers around the wizard, mobs are generally weary of attacking things like that.
Yes, they aren't stupid. So if they get told again and again, by trusted pillars of the community that magic is bad. What do you think will happen? As for soldiers stopping riots, they can but people can also just dare them to act if they think it's important enough.
The jades have the upside that a) they are trying to bless a empty field not the middle town square
We super don't. This is Warhammer; if we take everything written in the setting materials to be literal truth then the world becomes completely incoherent. Judgement calls about which lore to incorporate at what level of seriousness are just kinda the price of admission.
Ok, so wheres the lore bit that refutes the teclis and Nagash bit? Because I haven't seen it and people with much better sources were involved with the debate.
I'm saying given the choice of having weird wizards doing weird things in the town square and hoping someone alerts the shallyans I think I know what the peasents prefer.
