Benign Dismemberment

3rd-level, Necromancy (ritual)

  • Casting time: 1 minute unless cast as a ritual
  • Range: Touch
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: 1 hour

You touch a willing creature, allowing its body parts (fingers, limbs, and even its head) to be harmlessly severed from its body for the duration. It takes no damage from such dismemberment, as long as the body part is removed swiftly and leaves a clean cut. The target’s head remains alive and conscious, and parts connected to it also remain alive. All severed body parts become inanimate, but don’t begin decomposition for the spell’s duration. Any of the target’s severed body parts that are removed during this spell’s duration can be held back to the stump, which instantly restores the body part.

At the end of the duration, severed body parts become permanently severed. The target dies if vital organs have not been reattached to its head.
