This article by Joshua Cole was a great addition to the issue. The application of the animate dead spell in this manner was facinating. The combined forces of the Transmuter and Necromancer shed light on power plays that make D&D more interesting. The greatest aspect of this article is how it optimized game mechanics and roleplaying opportunities without creating new rules (or feats/skills/spells).
Looking forward to additional articles such as this one.

I agree that this is definitely one of the best articles to come along in quite some time. The fact that the author took an existing part of the game and showed the reader how to utilize it more effectively, that's the type of article that is the most useful to those who can only afford the core books! Plus, I'm tired of seeing all-humanoid shaped skeletons and zombies in books and games. Hopefully, this article will point people in another direction.
More articles like this could only improve the magazine!
