What parts of the components must be headed to get a succesful casting? How does the weave empower the animus and soul of a dead body? If there is a relation to other necromantic spells such as Animate Dead, Clone or Enervation how would you explain them? How does a living fleshy caster manipulating negative energies ward himself from it?

The material components are diamonds, so the diamonds, perhaps, act like a "focus" (like a magnifying glass and light) between the spirit/soul and the body, opening a "doorway" to return to it. -All in all, I think that the main job of spells that bring others back to life is to proverbially "find and call" the dead spirit/soul. They don't even know that they're necessarily dead. Look at Jakk, in the Erevis Cale books, when his dead spirit/soul is shown in the afterlife.
