Quite honestly, it's not the "how" of resurrection that we need to worry about, but rather the "why" of it. Although this thread initially started with Pyrrha, it applies to the concept in general. In some of my first posts, I spoke of how the idea needs to be properly set up and developed, but it can't just be something that happens. It needs impact, it needs weight, it needs, like The Devil's Advocate WP said, consequences.

In the case of Pyrrha, the biggest hurdle to get over is how the character of Jaune figures into the equation. He needs to get a lot of character development beforehand, really pull at his emotional strings before he can even truly grasp what resurrection could mean for the RWBYverse. And even then, the idea is likely not gonna be introduced, if at all, until very late into the show. The idea needs to be discussed in detail, and carefully examined.

Inversely, perhaps resurrection could be an impulsive decision, and the consequences of not thinking enough about such a weighty decision will serve as the main development of the idea in the story and for the characters dealing with the fallout.
