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. An outsider with the native subtype can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other living creatures can be.
