Body link

Body Link was a unique spell to Zakhara, the Land of Fate. This spell was usable by wizards and priests.

Effects
Body Link was used to prevent death from decapitation, or other kinds of dismemberment, by linking all body parts so that their separation would not effect them in any way. Example: a wizard's was decapitated, yet his head could still talk and eat normally. Decapitation caused the wielder to collapse unless they made a successful intelligence (wizard) or wisdom (priest/cleric) check.

The duration of this spell was 1 turn per caster level. Once dismemberment occurred, the spell lasted an additional round per caster level. Any separated body part need only be placed at the site of dismemberment to be re-attached. The full normal effects of dismemberment were experienced if the body part was not re-attached before the spell expired.

Components
In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required a pearl worth at least 500 gold pieces, a small amount of tree sap which was eaten by the caster. Casting the spell destroyed the pearl.
