Why make this?
Mostly out of the mindset of "if I can, why not?" Hopefully by exploring alternatives to Resurrect (which aren't just a complete removal of the ability to return an ally to life) the frustrating aspects of Resurrect can be identified by comparison; or in other words, by looking at two different versions of Resurrect, it will be easier to understand what parts of Resurrect are pretty okay, and which parts cause the irritation.
