So it seems. "raise dead" has a fair casting level, and can be made to
work. Resurrection clearly needs some modifications. Neither show up in
stores - is there some flag that needs to be set in order for it to do
so?

Neat. Haven't looked at that one.

I guess, AFAIK I am the only one running a server with
PERM_DEATH/RESURRECTION enabled. However, I think it's a fun way to
play. You clearly would not take the kind of risks you normally would, but
on the other hand, dying won't hurt that much as long as you can dig up a
hi-level wiz. As it is now, however, digging up a lvl 200 wizard is kinda
hard.
