And it also gives the phrase "unnatural" entirely new and very interesting
connotations... while people flying is not at all unnatural, raising the
dead *is*. Could lead to some interesting good/evil plays: good is natural,
evil is unnatural. Unnatural has always indicated some level of distaste:
unnatural interest, unnatural desires, unnatural acts, unnatural
appearance. I *like* this. Good show, man... exciting concept you came up with.
