Components V, S

Materials black diamonds worth 5,000 gp, a pint of blood from the creature that is to be cloned, and 100 gallons of salt water, all of which the spell consumes, and a gemstone encrusted container worth 5,000 gp that has a sealable lid and is large enough to hold the creature being cloned

This spell grows an inert duplicate of a living creature as a safeguard against death. This clone forms inside the container used in the spell’s casting and grows to full size and maturity after 120 days; you can also choose to have the clone be a younger version of the same creature. It remains inert and endures indefinitely, as long as its vessel remains undisturbed.
At any time after the clone matures, if the original creature dies, its soul transfers to the clone, provided that the soul is free and willing to return. If the creature's soul transfers into the clone in this way, they suffer a soul scar.
The clone is physically identical to the original and has the same personality, memories, and abilities, but none of the original's equipment. The original creature's physical remains, if they still exist, become inert and can't thereafter be restored to life, since the creature's soul is elsewhere.
