So I looked through Exemplars of Evil today and one spell caught my eye - Infallible Servant (pg 28). It's a 3rd level spell that blocks the target from being raised, even with True Resurrection. It was designed for villains to use on their minions in case of capture, but there's no particular reason it can't be used on enemies apart from the fact that it's [evil], has a one minute casting time, and has to be cast while the target is still alive.
But then I looked closer, and it apparently can be bypassed by Miracle. Which seems pretty stupid to me since anyone who can cast True Resurrection can also cast Miracle just as easily (unless they're a Healer). It also raises the question of how exactly this works. Do you cast Miracle followed by True Resurrection, or what? Miracle can't normally raise you without a body, AFAIK.
