So, what happens if you resurrect an 80 year old human. If they’re an amputee, they get their limbs back… but is it the limb as it would appear on their 80 year old body? Or, the limb as it was when it disappeared?
Imagine an 80 year old with a 20 year old’s forearm.
Also, how healthy does it make you? Are you as healthy as you were before you died? Or, are you returned to perfect health? Or very good health for your age?
How does it affect dementia? Dementia is eventually fatal, but I don’t think it counts as a mortal wound.
Also, if it closes all mortal wounds, what about non-mortal wounds? Say Bob died by falling off a cliff. He’s resurrected, and he gets back the arm that he lost decades ago. Meanwhile his other arm is completely shattered, but not in a mortal way. The rock that was piercing his chest disappears and his massive chest wound is gone, however he’s still bleeding from a dozen small cuts, none of which are mortal on their own, but taken together will cause him to bleed out in a few minutes.
That would actually make for a really great NPC. Rescue an old man’s severed head kept alive for decades in an evil wizard’s basement using the Wizard’s own stuff, then Gandalf the Schwarzenegger’s jacked body picks up a sword and wins initiative on the BBEG upstairs.
Optionally make the BBEG really tough without him there so the party is forced to figure it out, unless you don’t like railroading.

It comes back as baby limbs, like the axolotl
