Ehhhh....
Well, you can control the soul extraction, so that might be a bit much. If it were like, oh, the Warshades' extracted essences (dumb pets) I don't think I'd see a balance issue there (though their duration might drop._)
Would it be over powered if re-summoning your minions "killed" the extractions? Like if all your pets die all of a sudden, and you Soul Extract them all, but then you summon your zombies, the zombie extractions die.
I don't know if that's technically doable. I can't think of an example where having one of one type of pet "kills" another type. Same type, yes (or it makes the power fail, or "refills" it in the case of things like fire imps or current MM pets.)
I don't think, if it IS doable, I'd call it overpowered - you're maintaining the same level of pets, same degree of Bodyguard, etc. On the other hand, I don't know why I'd do that instead of just resummoning the pet in the first place.
Ok, here is what I mean.
I heard a story from my bro about how there was a Hami raid killed 80 players, and 1 Dark Miasma defender came in, Howling Twilighted, and all 80 players came back to life, nearly crashing the server.
My idea was this:
The MM summons his 6 minions.
He waits for them to recharge.
He dismisses the ones that are up.
He casts Soul Extraction on the corpses of his minions, raising 6 new minions from them, all at once.
He then re-summons the original 6, then trains and enhances them.
Then calls up Dark Servant.
Making 13 minions, but only 6 being perma-till-killed(possitive about the spirits, not entirely so about the DS).
Would that be too game-breaking for the Necro/DM MM?

won't work. your pets don't die when you dismiss them. they just go away. and yes, if this was possible, it would be over powered. and hate to say it but a story is just that, a story. unless all 80 people died within 10 feet of each other, there is no way 1 toon used one rez to rez them all.

Make Soul Extraction like Howling Twilight.
Use the effect it has now, but does so to all fallen zombies.
Doing the math on that, coupled with Dark Miasma, you'd have 13 minions(3 Zombies, 2 Grave Knights, 1 Lich, their 6 "Soul-Extracted" counterparts, and Dark Servant).
