Sounds like a great move to use with LA Pythium to get rid of their Heretic status (and upkeep of course). Plus they have easy access to Foul Vapors or Hydras.

You can cast Life After Death and Foul Vapors to kill all your mages in a battle, which then turn them into Soulless, and then you can stop paying upkeep for them.

Ha, I thought i had discovered this one as well! Found that the mages end up with like 5 mr, so its not good for battle mages. and IIRC ocassionally you lose a mage, the life after death does not trigger.

Wouldn't you be immune to mind hunts as well?

Mindless death-spell-casting corpses. Now there's a movie.

Doing this to a pile of Priests is great way to create Reanimating Priests.
So, while I think this idea is just great - the use of it to create Reanimating Priests seems a little fishy to me. Can any undead priest reanimate? Cause it would just be totally bizarre to have a nation like Arco with a widespread capability to get undead freespawn.

What do you all think?

Any undead or demon priest can reanimate.

Did you know that....

Several nations get their own special Soulless and Londead. While most people know about Lanka's undead bandar and markata or Caelum's winged undead, few people know that Atlantis gets undead that have coral armor and weapons.

Thematically I'm fine with it. Of course this would represent a major corruption of society, but if a nation like Ermor could be tempted by the dark powers of death magic, why should Arco (or any other nation) be immune?
