O! O! ... how about a "half rez"? char changes from a ghost, to 'whateva' ...I also agree with Caspian. A necro res would create an "undead" and not a living character...
Perhaps an undead state for players might be an option... Necro animates a dead player and the player can gather their belongings from their corpse, but with a greatly reduced skill set until they get a real resurrection? or some other "undead" penalty? OK... I admit it is a spur of the moment thought, but I'll count it as a brainstorming idea and see if someone else can make it better from here...
Let's be agree. Necro are a bit like witches !
(YES I COULD FIND A WAY TO USE THAT SMILEY Ok Ok I don't shout anymore) 
to myself
Exorcism is cool, kind of, but it only works in champion spawn areas in dungeons.
Oh brother.... yeah that's why 5 out of 10 pvpers are necros. With the remainder being archers and tamers.
That would be interestingI sort of agree with caspian, maybe necro could do an animate spell to bring the player back in a "Lesser" form, and if oyu dont get a real res within ... minutes, you die again
Thats a great idea!
I really think they should; I've supported this before..
Yeah bring back players weakened health and cursed.
Probably the dumbest thing I've read today. Necromancy is over-powered as it is. It does not need any changes. You people all need to stop pancakes about PvP changes. PvP is more balanced than it has been in a long time.
If you think necromancy is overpowered (you're not even suggesting it's balanced, you honestly think it's overpowered?), then I suggest that you are one of the many people who either 1) haven't a clue how to properly fight necros or 2) prefer some skills to be imbalanced, and do not like any challenge and threat to their own template.
OMG...like if they eat that apple thing on a timer I can't put up the same curse the exact moment they do that and if I miss them eating the apple (they might as well of put a graphic over the players head of the evil omen) I must not be paying any attention at all. Oh, and when the necromancers most damaging spells in pvp don't rely on fire or poison resistances at all it sure seems like all they would ever do in pvp is cast corpse skin.
I actually do think that mages should be able to cast res on their dead pets. In all sense it should work. The ghosts back to life. A dead pet walks around as a ghost if bonded, and if they have vet it should bring back an animal's ghost.
Glad we agree
Ahh, and say the amount of mana used determines the negative affects or something similar.
Well, thankfully, I did some research on this topic and found this:
it they have great Karma, longer Curse.. If they are Negative.. Less Curse time.. 
Hmm. Good points indeed. Thus I would be inclined to suggest again, an ability for a necromancer to temporarily self-resurrect with no mana and only be able to heal with SS on dead bodies, or with some kind of penalty until they properly resurrect themselves. Thus meaning that they are technically a walking-dead so to speak. No ability to fight either, but others can attack them too, perhaps?Well, thankfully, I did some research on this topic and found this:
" since the Renaissance, necromancy has come to be associated more broadly with black magic and demon-summoning in general, sometimes losing its earlier, more specialized meaning. By popular etymology, nekromantia became nigromancy "black arts", and Johannes Hartlieb (1456) lists demonology in general under the heading. Eliphas Levi, in his book Dogma et Ritual, states that necromancy is the evoking of aerial bodies (aeromancy). (page 64) " .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necromancy
I know Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source of information.. but the sources listed for it's information on the subject seem in check.
BUT, I would assume by the spells Necromancy has, they have taken all that into to consideration. The fact that they can cast " Vengful Spirit " would mean Necromancers in UO play with spirits of the fallen as well.
With that in mind...
" In religion, folklore, and mythology a demon (or daemon, dæmon, daimon from Greek: δαίμων [ðaïmon]) is a supernatural being that has generally been described as a malevolent spirit, and in Christian terms it is generally understood as a fallen angel, formerly of God. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon
Thus, it Makes Sense..
ColterDC- Glad to Agree with you, no point in standing by my points when have no reasoning, but I will give my opinion in the subject..
Viper09 - Sounds great, but, that punish's the people who are resurected, when they have no controal on that. Another way would be make depend on the Karma of the player being resurected

This would be so, if they die in some far off place such as Nu'Jhelom or similar places with no healers, to loot themselves and try to get back to civilization before timer runs out, or similar such things.
Just an idea
it's not a straight up resurrect, but it can be a life saver in certain times..I actually really kind of like that Idea, and I was against it initially, the person being resurected will suffer the karma loss Id assume, so pallys would not be inclined to take it, and ya Why the hell should a necro be able to cast chiv spells or vice versa, the higher of the 2 skills should take prevalince
It is very hypocritical to see a paladin necromancer running around, lol.
I wish exorcism worked outside of champ spawns too, that would be kinda fun
