Most likely as I assume most undeads can only be more "active" if they are supplied with whatever magic they run on sort of like if you are really dehydrated then you are not entirely focus or fully aware, the same can be said for undeads who are poor are absorbing and retaining magic from their surrounding so I guess with necromancers its like having a magic tube that holds someone on the mortal planes so if the necromancer dies and the thrall is weak in terms of magic retention then the thrall crumbles so the mummy has to be supplied with magic to be more sentient be it a pharoh, a sphinx or an Anubis with more magic potential, source is varied and crude so please do not ask
