A 180s recast off-gcd would be more than suitable for the job. It can save a healer in a dungeon, and it can't be "dispensed". The recast would offset the infinite MP dilemma, and as I said with the right creativity with implementation, it very well can fit the lore. Consider a tether from the raised player that has weakness to the BLM increasing their damage for 20s and if the tether is broken the player just dies again. After it expires, everything is back to normal. Borderline necromancy rather than "white magic" or "arcane".
There ya go.
