A sorceress who cannot be revived...?

I have a party in which there is an elven sorceress. Now, when ANY character dies, I just have my cleric to use Raise Dead and they're back. Strangely, this doesn't work with said sorceress, as she cannot be revived, never! The cleric throws the spell as usual (magic words, flash of light etc.), and nothing happens!

As the spell description says, Raise Dead doesn't affect elven characters. IIRC there is only one or two resurrection spells that also affect elven characters.

Kipi is correct. Icewind Dale 1 uses AD&D 2nd edition rules and elves can only be be brought back with a Resurrection spell. This means your cleric has to be 13th level (i.e., have 7th level cleric spells). Mother/Sister Eugenia (whom you rescue in Dragon's eye) has the spell I am pretty sure. You also might try the Temple of Ilmater in Kuldahar. I seem to recall finding at least 2, maybe 3, resurrection scrolls in the course of the game.
