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?

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?

But you can make thematic reasons for anything, really. This effect is basically a loophole because the nations who dont have access to Reanimation were designed that way. Reviving a mage skirts the upkeep cost but doesnt add capabilities to a nation that never had them before. While I would LOVE to use this trick, I think I have to admit to myself that its an exploit in the case of priests.

True enough. From your post I wasn't sure whether you meant it thematically or gametechnically. I'm quite sure I have seen KO confirm that the fact that all undead priests can reanimate is WAD. Of course, that was mostly in regard to someone prophetizing some random undead to reanimate a few chaff units. I do agree that it is quite a leap from there to the mass production of priests in this way. I do see why you think it could be fishy, though I don't have strong feelings about it either way. It certainly is a very neat trick though.
