Thanks for responding. I generally agree with this and figure it was the inspiration for it (like your "communing with the dead") example. Something I forgot to mention in the initial post is that Reaper also has several actions/effects relating to the concept of sacrifice (circle of sacrifice, stacks of immortal sacrifice etc) which make it relate a little more closely to the Christian sacrament for me. I do appreciate the feedback--hadn't seen it discussed so it's nice to see a balanced take on it.
