Necromancy and Wells

So I couldn't help but notice the Necromancy wiki page and the Wells wiki page have either contradictory information, or simply a little confusing for me.

First off, Necromancy page only lists 4 wells that can be used for welled thralls. It calls them well 'types'.
Ezymite, Imedyte, Emetyte, Obstimyte

Now according to the Wells wiki:

Ezymite is an illusion well, creates a mirage of the user.

Imedyte is a fire well. Jets of fire

Emetyte is a class III well of dreams.

Obstimyte is a well that can nullify magic, and is used to make liches.

Now does this mean that Necromancy can ONLY use these four types of wells?

Because the well wiki page also states:

The necromancy ability Soul Theft allows the mage to trap living souls within wells. However as this ability is only learnt at master level only class 4 or higher wells can be successfully used for this ability.

Necromancers are able to create Golems at competent level. Thus in order to make it a welled thrall the well would need to be class 2 or higher.

Generally, Red is Netzach's speech, and This color is anyone else..

Appearance

The following are a list of Appearance features. This tab is for shortening space, should the tabs get too big.

Attunement

Witchmark: 'Puzzle eyes', a set of striations in the eyes that all Attuners are marked with.

Necromancy

Witchmark: "Dead eyed". Netzach has a corpselike vacant stare. His pupils never seem to dialate, he no longer blinks nor needs to, although he can for the purposes of certain expressions, and his eyes seem to not have saccades, the tiny movements that keep the eyes jittering here and there, never fixing at one spot.

In addition, he sleeps with his eyes open, although his eyes are completely 'dead', not registering the outside world.

Nope, it can use any well of an appropriate class to the level of undead. Class 1 can be used for thralls that are available up to Novice. Class 2 up to competent. Class 3 up to expert. Class 4 up to Master level thralls. And Class 5 for a revealed level thrall or a Lich's phylactery.

Because the well wiki page also states:

The necromancy ability Soul Theft allows the mage to trap living souls within wells. However as this ability is only learnt at master level only class 4 or higher wells can be successfully used for this ability.

Yes that's up to date. The Necromancer Write-up may need to be clarified. But it's not incorrect in that those four wells can be used. It's just that they're not the only ones.
