You get better at fighting even without charm use.
You become employable by pretty much every faction in a favored position (you're valuable enough for exalts to keep you around and happy if not at the level of another exalt).

Not really; bog standard enlightened mortals can't use necromancy at all; it's the Ghost-blooded that get it.

Look at the sorcery initiation Merit. It says there's a necromancy version of it as well.

You can no longer die spontaneously just because you made a friend who happens to be of an Exalt type that kills their mortal friends.

Blast; it seems you're right... despite the fact that the whole "who learns necromancy" part of Black Treatise did not include mortals...
