Yanafel Tarnils had/has one other huge difference from Humakt - he has "kin". YT is (or seems to me, at least) quite supportive, heck - nearly altruistic, to the rest of the Seven Mothers. He is part of a team, not the ultimate loner. YT can be resurrected because he serves the Red Goddess, with all her impressive regenerative/life aquiring history. Humakt serves no one, and has no real friends.

Humakti could still get the re-usable sever spirit but that he will have
to give up Something Else (like no healing of wounds whatsoever or
something like that).
To me, Humakt owns Death, and that's that. Humakti don't resurrect. Murharzarm didn't return from Hell with Yelm because he was slain by Death itself. End of story. A resurrecting Humakti would negate the only thing Humakt really stands for.

Unbalanced.
Illumination is quite unbalanced. That's one reason why most non-illuminated Gloranthans despise, resent, or try hard to become illuminates. But most PC's aren't illuminated, so it's not too much of a problem at the game level. Unfortunately, many PC's DO play Humakti, and they can become bothersome fast.
