Exorcising evil temples

I was wondering if anyone has any better ideas than I have for exorcising an evil temple. In DF the cleric just rolls against his skill and the Will of the evil temple to be exorcised. I was think to be more involved because I feel older temples will need much more time to cleanse them of evil. The idea I have far is that the temple has a sort of hit point amount which must be reduced to 0 before the temple can be cleansed. I am thinking that each exorcism will inflict damage on the temples evil hit points but more powerful clerics can inflict more damage than weaker ones. So I am thinking that the level of power investiture adds to the damage inflicted thus a cleric with power investiture 1 inflicts 1 point of damage per exorcism while a cleric with power investiture 6 could inflict 6 points of damage to the temple. The cleric could also have a ceremony and each person could add an addition point of damage to the evil temple. But I would think this might be dangerous because if the helper fails their Will roll vs the evil in the temple they might become possessed.

I am also thinking that the evil temple could regenerate it hit points if the demon that is worshipped there is not slain. Maybe the temple gives high unholy sanctity under normal conditions but when cleansed the unholy sanctity is normal. When the temple regenerates 20% of its hit points the unholy sanctity goes to +1, 40% goes to +2, 60% goes to +3, 80% goes to +4 and 100% goes to +5 or high evil sanctity and the temple is back to its full operation.
