It is easy to abuse if the DM lets his guard down.A Wiz 3/Clr 3/MT 2/TN 1 (arcane spells) would cast:arcane non-necromancy spells as a 6th level spell caster.divine non-death spells as a 5th level spell caster.Necromantic or Death spells as a 9th level spell caster (and here is the crunch, to do otherwise you will have a Wiz 3/Clr 3/ MT 10/TN 1 casting necromancy spells as a 27th level caster). I would not allow such a character's caster level to exceed his character level. Prior to the Mystic Theurge, the TN could not do so. This should not change with the advent of the mystic theurge.He rebukes undead as a 4th level cleric (Cleric level + True necro, Mystic theurge grants no such ability). Therefore he may control up to 8 HD of undead creatures, within the parameters of the rebuke ability.Desecrate grants a -3 profane penalty to turn (I assume a +3 profane bonus to rebuke), and undead gain a +1 bonus to attacks, damage, and saves. Can't see anything about doubling the amount of HD rebuked... animating dead within the zone of desecration will allow him to create twice as many undead as usual, which 36 HD of skeletons or zombies, given the example caster above. These undead are separate from those that he can control via rebuke. Unfortunately it makes no mention of other undead creating spells within this zone of desecration. It is not unreasonable to assume that those spells function better than usual in such an area. I would also rule that the divine and the arcane versions of the animate dead spell count seperately for controlling HD of zombies/skeletons, enabling the TN to control 2*4HD*Necro-caster level, upon being able to cast 4th level spells, given one divine casting and one arcane casting of the spell.The number of spells per day in my example would be as a 6th level wiz/5th level cleric.</blockquote>
