====Illegal experimentations====
Each mind recording and transfer slightly corrupts the mind and have a chance render it totally unusable. For this reason while it possible to change bodies many times no one is willing to do it on themselves. 

As you have guessed a mind recorded in an ankh is can not be necessarily transfered to the body it originated from. You can't put a high grade mind into a different body because the patterns of the dead brain are very similar to the original patterns and they create interference making the resulting undead utterly insane. But you can do it with lower grade minds. Obtain some fresh corpses, a terabyte of minds and create your own undead slaves. 

Another way to prevent this problem is to transfer the mind into a non-human head. Since the brain need a lot less work to do (No more breathing, regulating hormones levels and other body functions) the mind can be transfered into a smaller head, usually an animal. One of uses of this possibility is to sew an animal head to a human body and transfer the mind into the animal head. Most of the time the result is yet again an insane abomination but some combinations result in a stable creatures. Another stable combination is putting the original head on top of an animal body. Crazier necromancer combine several bodies via grafting to create enormous abominations. In all this experiments you need to implant a high grade mind because a low grade knows only the how to move a human body and will be unable to learn the use of the new body.

The Faith condemns and outlaws similar experiments, for they result in great loss of human resources and are quite horrifying from the public perspective. But often the Faith turns a blind eye on them  as the 7 gods enjoy seeing new creations and sometimes this experiments wield stable and usable results.

The most famous of such stable combinations officially permitted by the Faith are the Anubians. They are made with the head of a golden wolf attached to the big, 2 meters tall, pitch black body of a nubian savage. Each Anubian is a work of art and i unique, minor improvements varies from one specimen to another: paws in place of the feet, the integration of the wolf nervous system, magicla runes to increase speed and strength, hippopotamus leather in place of skin etc. The minds of great warriors is placed in Anubians and it is a great honor to become one.

Since the Faith condemns experimental necromancy , the practitioners must buy secretly various components. Under these condition a  thriving black market arose. You can find anything n it. From fresh corpses to exotic animals both alive and dead, to golden plates with hundreds of minds uploaded on them.
