"Sigh, it feels a bit wasteful to simply use the skeletons as cannon fodder. Plus, when they die, it rebounds on my spirit. Although the backlash isn't much for one skeleton, it becomes shocking when there are many dead skeletons.
Exiling them wouldn't cause any backlash, but it would also consume spirit and mana.
Perhaps it's because the place of exile is too far away.
Well, if I could exile them somewhere nearby, it might save a lot of effort."
On the side, the Pighead maid chimed in: "What do you mean by exile? You want to toss your skeletons somewhere far away? Why? Is there no room left in your Land of Bone?"
"Get lost, none of your business. When I'm talking about the castle gate, you're discussing the arm... hang on, the Land of Bone, yeah, can I exile the skeletons in the Land of Bone?"
While Dean McKenzie was complaining about the maid, he suddenly realized that this might be a viable strategy.
