Mmm... For me myself, it's hard to put logic behind or imagining a magic-healing while in real life we live in a magic-less world, but at least from the game's point of view it is clear that Raise is not Resurrection. You can't bring dead people back, at least not with any of the playable Class ability.
The Conjurer's and Arcanist's Raise-type spell is to bring an unconscious entity back to a level of health enough to sustain consciousness, hence the relatively little amount of health restored by the spell and the Weakness debuff that follows the entity being Raised.
Why not bring them to full health and vitality instead? Maybe such ability do exist but not for us player characters. Casting the Raise requires huge amount of Mana and long casting time which asides from game balance, also implies that it is a very exhaustive and difficult spell to perform and requires utmost concentration.
A "complete" Raise is possible I think- but most probably is not a feat accessible to men, Echo-bearer or not, or at least until somewhere in the future patch which unlocks even more advanced masteries.
And although it is probably not depicted in game, I do think that not even the White Mage and Scholar could restore lost or sufficiently destroyed body parts such as a lost arm, leg, or a gouged eye. And there are also huge limitations to what their healings could do to neurological or mental scars such as phobia, repressed memory, or amnesia.
