All the spells you mention (and a few you didn't, such as Holy Pyre) are *magic* spells: they require research and specific paths of magic. I propose a *priest* spell that is useful against small numbers of high MR "elite" undeads - or, if enough priests are casting it, against undead supercombatants not supported by an army.

I believe the spells you are looking for are "Smite Demon", and "Smite". Smite Demon is a P3 spell which is supposed to be more effective against single targets. Smite is a P5 spell that causes even more damage, but is not really specific to undead. Both of these spells suffer from the MR-negates problem, however, so without either massed fire and/or penetration aids, they will tend to bounce off of pretender-grade MR.

Of course, most of the nations with powerful priests have priests that are also mages: Theurgs, Inquisitors, Witch Hunters, etc. Other nations have mages that are perfectly adept at doing the job without a priest spell anyway: Sauromancers, Deep Seers, etc.
