I'm wondering about letting Mind affect the minds of anyone, whether alive, not, or spirit. Whether to let Spirit and Undead
also substitute for Mind of spirits/undead, I'm unsure; I'm also unsure about another option - merging Undead and Spirit for the bodies, but letting Mind affect all minds, and removing the mind-affecting component of Spirit/Undead. Permutations, mutations, houserules, variations . . .
But I better understand the default set-up before doing anything like that.

I wasn't thinking it make a person undead, but it does need to control the ghost of the deceased in order to 'put it back in'.

I guess I should've used Geist The Sin-Eaters instead of revenants to highlight what I mean. The sort where the person is undead, but definitely the body is alive. And the idea of a homunculus was too that the body is alive, but may or may not have a soul, but does have a mind, whether rudimentary or complete.
