We can just screw the immortal theme though... its will cause balance problems anyway, under astral corruption for example. Horrors? Who cares! Wish!

If the girl is destroyed somehow - maybe it backfires on the Oracle who possessed her anyway, leaving a dead, uninhabited fountain, and calling a God more or less equals these searches for a new Nameless priestess in this case.
Maybe. After all, its not a true immortality anyway; its being able to come back when called by your worshippers. Or found in the body of a newborn girl.

P.S.

If there was some way to make it impossible to change shape outside your capitol...
The nameless priestess shouldnt be able to leave capitol, I think. By any means.

Most immobiles don't care about astral corruption/any kind of assassination anyway, as they can simply cast returning.

But yes, immortality would certainly still cause problems.
