Frankly, I prefer the FAQ approach.Q: The descriptions of the spells blasphemy, holy word, wordof law, and word of chaos say that if you are on your homeplane, casting one of these spells banishes those not of yourplane back to their home planes, and creatures native toyour plane (with an alignment opposed to the spell) suffervarious ill effects. Several evil outsiders have this spell-likeability. How does this spell-like ability work for an outsideron the Prime Material Plane, which is not its home plane.Conversely, when these outsiders are on their home planes,how are these spells useful? For example, what use is wordof law to a devil on Baator, where just about everything islawful evil?A: If the subjects of any of these spells are not extraplanarelementals or outsiders, they suffer effects according to theiralignments and Hit Dice. In spite of what the beginning of thethird paragraph in each spell’s description says, you don’t haveto be native to the caster’s home plane to be affected.If the spell’s subjects are extraplanar elementals or outsiders,and the caster is on his or her home plane, the spell blasts thesubjects back to their home planes. These creatures also suffereffects according to their alignments and Hit Dice. Beingreturned to their home plane is an additional effect, not analternate effect, as the spells’ descriptions imply.</blockquote>
