I apologize if followup is redundant! Thank you for taking the time to answer.
In Exalted too there is no actual 'resurrect the dead' option, the dead are dead forever. No necromancer can bring back the person, it just animates the ... uh, leftovers, for a little while. Given the putting-spirits-in-corpses, is this something that you don't want players doing as well for Reasons, or are once-sapient bodies still viable targets so long as it's no longer really Joe Bob The Guard in mind/soul/words?
re: versions, how big can the holes be to get filled in by other versions before I get frowned at? As far as I know there should be no conflicts between versions as to setting and story and history and so on, 2.5 simply actually HAS mechanics and stats, abilities, and explains how things work and 3e hasn't gotten around to making any yet for abyssals. And apparently there are no plans to do so for the foreseeable future.
