The quick and dirty:

If you are under the effects of mind swap and your original body dies, can you cast reincarnate or cyclic reincarnation on yourself to bring your original body back to life? If you can, does that restore the soul of the creature you mind swapped with to your body?

Also, if you use cyclic reincarnation, does the new body resemble you or the person you swapped with since their soul is technically what is being brought back?

Just curious for no overtly devious reason.

I say if you cast it on your original body while you're still alive in a mind swapped body nothing happens. Your soul is still associated with the body and you aren't dead (until the duration expires) so it treats it like casting reincarnate on a soulless or soul trapped body. No result.

It wouldn't restore the soul of the mind swapped person. Unless you'd done Major Mind Swap, of course.
