Preventing Raise Dead / Resurrection

[wspatterson]

Are there any spells that specifically prevent the dead from being raised or resurrected?

Soulbind (page 345 core rule book).

Death Effects in general prevent anything short of (True) Resurrection. So no Raise Dead, Reincarnate, etc.

I'm toying with injecting my games with an incredibly rare metal that has a soul destroying property. I envision it being on par with minor artifacts in rarity, only a select few weapons exist made of the stuff, and only legends remain of where the material was discovered/created. I'd probably seed its introduction with rumors about a "man with a blade that kills completely" or some such thing, expand it over a little time with talk about how it prevents resurrection magics, then spring it upon the party at a random spot in the campaign. Maybe as a +1 or +2 dagger or short sword.

spells that turn you into undead, trap the soul,Destruction, I'm sure there's a few others that need true rez/miracle/wish to work
