** It isn't the effect itself which does the damage but the source. It is the good or neutral divine energy carrying the judgement of the god or goddess which does the destruction. Good gods usually smite as wicked or liberate the victims barring any holy quests. Neutral gods usually returns to their place in the natural cycle without any judgement.



** Most corporeal undead are harmed by healing spells and healed by dark magic. There are a few exceptions. Mummies seem like this but aren't because the process does indeed give eternal life [[AgeWithoutYouth despite becoming decrepit enough to look undead]] and are healed but are harmed like other living things by dark magic. Plague zombies are are simply restored to life even if they were reanimated as a corpse. Spectral undead are unaffected as beings of pure spirit and unaffected by either. [[OurLichesAreDifferent Liches]] are usually the same as other undead but the rare one who masters both life and death magic is healed by both.

** Excesses of healing can kill living targets.


Added DiffLines:

** Healing magic on undead depends upon the level of power. If it isn't strong enough it results in partial revival of a rotten corpse - which unless enough is restored or prompt treatment given results in the undead briefly becoming alive before dying of septic shock. One strong enough to revive essentially every part of them at once is restored as normal.

** Healing is elemental in nature and affected accordingly. Those very weak against an element will be harmed even by healing. Those immune will not receive any healing and those strong against will receive bonus healing. Furthermore conditions can affect what type of healing is effective or turned actively harmful! Using nature magic on an infection is a horrible idea for instance as it energizes bacteria far more - which is also how it destroys undead.
