Magicka Serella
6-level Transmutation (ritual)
Nybor used this spell to create spies in the
households of her rivals and enemies, copying
the minds and personalities of trusted servants
into magic items and making gifts of the items
to those whom she wished to observe.
You magically copy the mind and
consciousness of a creature into a gem. The
creature must make a successful Wisdom
saving throw to avoid the effect. On a failure,
the creature drops to 0 hit points.
The mind transferred to the gem is magically
unstable. It will begin to dissipate within 7 days
unless the gem is crafted into a magic item.
When a gem is crafted into a magic item, the
item becomes sentient (see Sentient Magic
Items in the SRD), using the stats, personality,
general memories, and languages known of the
creature whose mind was transferred. Since the
copy transferred to the gem retains the target
creature's memory and personality, any
feelings the target had toward you are also felt
by the gem. If the target hates you, the item
containing the gem will hate you as well.
Note the target can easily recover from its hit
point loss. Each copy knows of the other.
Whether or not the copies can cope with this
knowledge is dependent on the creature.
