The [Death Note Wikia](http://deathnote.wikia.com) states that...

>   1. The Death Eraser can revive the people that have been killed by the
> note
>
>   2. The Death Eraser is an artefact
>
>

In the wikia is also states if you wrote "dies from a tragic accident or
something",would the person's wounds or destroyed body parts be healed?

Which lead me to ask what is the limits of the Death Eraser and if you wrote
"commits suicide by gun" and you used the Death Eraser to bring them back,
would the wounds heal even though they come back to life?

question
death-note
What is the limit of the Death Eraser?


I doubt the "Death Eraser" exist (I actually haven't found references in any
plot of the official manga/anime), since the Shikigami, who are the original
owners of the notes, gets the remaining human life span and adds it to
themself. Something that could revive humans would alter fundamentally the
propose of the Death Note, and such thing was not devisable by the mangaka.

I remember you that wikia is a fan-made site and references and claims are not
official nor accurate.

First of all, [The Death Eraser](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Eraser)
is a plot device exclusive to [the manga
pilot.](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Note_Manga_Pilot)

> Death Note includes a rule stating that if the owner of the notebook uses
> the Death Eraser to erase names in the Death Note, the victims come back to
> life if they have not been cremated.

With this said we know atleast a body is needed for this

> Taro Kagami is offered the Death Eraser by Ryuk, and is told that he can
> erase the names in the Death Note and the victims will miraculously come
> back to life

Using the description Miraculously make's it quiet easy for them to get away
with just about anything. They are miraculously healed, or the miraculously
live on as just a severed head.

Simply said, It all comes down to the fact its a miracle.

The "death eraser" only made it as far as the pilot manga. This is
understandable considering that if it would have made it into the actual
series it would have caused major contradictions. The fact that the death note
ever exists would contradict the existence of the "death eraser" If the death
note was made to add life to a Shinigami than would the death eraser take away
from the Shinigami's lifespan? That's probably the reason that the "death
eraser" never made it to the official series: it would cause too many problems
that would have to be worked out and explained. By the time that everything
was explained we would already be about 2 episodes in. Nobody would want to
watch that content. So in the long run, taking the "death eraser" out of the
series completely would be the best solution.
