Phylactery of the Soul

Following in the Old Master’s path, the caster has succeeded in learning how to place his soul within an amulet or gem (worth no less than 1d8 x 100 gp) while still maintaining control of his mortal body. The caster has no awareness of the phylactery or its surroundings when inhabiting a body. If his mortal form is slain, his awareness returns to the phylactery and he has a variable period of time to inhabit a new body before his soul departs. Any new body must be living and physically touch the phylactery; the victim receives a Will save vs. spell check to resist being forced from its shell.

Manifestation

Roll 1d3: (1) caster’s body takes on a pallid air and his eyes glaze over as his soul is sent into the phylactery; (2) a crack resounds in the heavens and the air smells of copper and burnt offerings; (3) the caster crumples to his knees, howling in spiritual agony as his soul is torn from his mortal shell.
