Limited wish to resurrect outsider?


Rules Questions


Ok, rules say

Quote:
Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don't work on an outsider. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection to restore it to life.

How does that work? Copying Raise Dead, but with ability to resurrect outsider?

Does it need a specific way it works?

The rules say that resurrecting an outsider is something that can be done with limited wish. Thus, it can be done with limited wish.

It's not like limited wish is bound to only duplicate spells that exist. It can also "produce any effect whose power is in line with the above effects."


It works because the rules say it works. Any "how" it works is going to be flavor.

Easy version: The spell is powerful enough to make it happen.

So no negative levels / con drain / other adverse effects and no 5000gp in ruby dust or whatever? Well i dig it!


That seems weird, since True Res would otherwise be required and limited wish is a lower spell level.

Seems a little too easy.

Limited Wish does not have that text for allowing it to bring outsiders to life. It seems that in the outsider section they were listing examples and accidently included limited wish. I am going to FAQ it since I think it was an error.
