Except that it explicitly retroactively permanently afflicts Extra Life, so it gets "used up" immediately, and maybe can't be "cancelled" anymore.

So is Cancellation reasonable to do this?

Yes, it is, and if you want to make sure that no one and nothing else can undo the Raise Dead but the bestower, it's the only way I know of.

But it would be cheaper to reduce Permanent +300% to Permanent +150% and define "can be canceled by raiser" as the overt antidote, if you can live with there being other discoverable ways of canceling the effect, like excommunication, holy curses, etc.
