Raise/Ressurect too low

[Synthesis]

If either of you could explain very clearly how this makes things easier than simply hitting return and running from an aether camp, I don't think anyone would have a problem.

Well, its pretty much same at these low ranks. Return / Raise :-) so its not really big deal.
What I meant is the joy that you earned raise skill. Like cool finally raise lvl @ 26. Now you hit one leve run from lvl 1 .) and ding you have got this. I think this was the only thing -> An Earn. Which would benefit you later anyway if you continue play after R14 Hh
