I would give the corpse normal weapons vs things with MR,

Sure, normal weapons but they still have to penetrate because magic is being used to move them about, even if somewhat secondarily. In the current case, though, weapons wouldn't count since she's going to start off with animating animal corpses. .

Do you have an example of that? It is not as thought magic is directly moving the weapon and the weapon is not magic in itself. While the animated corpse would not be able to penetrate the MR a spear it is carrying would be able to do it.

Well, ghosts who enable themselves to grab physical things must penetrate when wielding physical swords. I don't see that this is much different. Of course, she's much better off if her animated human corpses in the future don't need to worry about this issue. But I do think it's the correct interpretation.

If the magic were different, then I would agree with you. If we're looking at preserving the corpse from decay, for example, I don't think that effect needs to be considered at all for penetration because it has nothing at all to do with the attack.

Agreed, if you're still talking about wielding a weapon.

On HoH:S p30 For "Awaken the slumbering corpse " [...] But If if wields a non-magical weapon, , the weapon would bypass MR
