Again, as has been pointed out by others, your problem is you are terrified of the voodoo, and trying to nitpick at it without actually picking at Voodoo.
Aside from voodoo being exceptionally lame, I don't really have too much of a problem with voodoo because there are countermeasures to it. I do, however, have a problem with my character, or anyone, being voodoo'd and then kept from resurrection while some tool goes off to grab the victim's stuff and/or kill whoever the victim was traveling with because they decided to stay logged in even though they didn't have any capable allies at the time.
And yes, I'm aware that seance can be used on anyone. I am also aware of the obvious fact that the only reason you would use seance to keep someone from grabbing their loot back would be in the case of a voodoo kill, because every other method of PK requires you to have actually killed them while near them. Voodoo+seance allows you to just voodoo someone then seance them for however long it takes to locate+grab their corpse, regardless of where it is, and I think that's the complete opposite intention of the spell.
