Raise Animal Companion (Sp) wrote:
At 10th level, a hunter gains raise animal companion as a spell-like ability; this is not restricted to raising only her own animal companion. Using this spell-like ability gives the hunter a permanent negative level. This negative level cannot be overcome in any way (including by restoration), but automatically ends after 24 hours. At 16th level, this functions as resurrection instead of raise dead, but otherwise operates as normal.

I am a bit confused on the bolded section.

Is the term of "Raise Dead" supposed to be "Raise Animal Companion"?

With the Resurrection part of it, does this mean that a Hunter has "At Will - Resurrection"?

Am I able to use the Resurrection on my party members, or is it restricted to only Animal Companions of mine and others?

Raise Animal Companion specifically notes that it 'functions as raise dead but only affects an animal companion, familiar, or paladin’s bonded mount'.

I think the clear intent is that at 16th level you replace Raise Dead in that sentence with Resurrection, but it otherwise remains unchanged (ie: only effecting the targets listed).
