How do you make that last connection? The way I see it, dragonglass basically breaks the WW spell and the Wight returns to what he naturally is, a dead body. So it doesn't matter if he is a flesh-zombie, a skeleton or anything in-between.
Yes but then the NK could just recast reanimation and get his skeleton army back. The rules of the show however seem to suggest that once a weight is hit with dragon glass or Vsteel, it's dead for good and can't come back. So either the NK's spell is 1 time only, which seems dumb, or he can't animate bodies past a certain point, which makes a certain amount of sense.
Doesn't seem all that dumb. Valyrian steel and dragon glass are also known to have some kind of magical properties surrounding it. Being able to break a spell shouldn't be out of the question. A lot of the wights shown in the show were literally just bones with armor on them. Frankly there's more evidence on the show pointing to there not being any time limit to the magic of the White Walkers.
