Spell

ToMain

Created by Xhadow

This arcane spell embodies the principle of collective sacrifice, allowing a caster to fragment their essence into multiple corporeal forms that share a singular consciousness. When activated, the caster can create duplicates of themselves, though each manifestation—including the original—experiences a proportional diminishment of physical prowess and capability. A caster who creates two duplicates becomes distributed across three bodies, with each possessing only one-third of the caster’s original strength, constitution, and combat effectiveness. However, the spell provides a unique compensation: biological necessities such as sleep, hunger, and fatigue are distributed across all instances, meaning if one body rests for eight hours, the entire collective benefits from that restoration without requiring every body to sleep. This burden-sharing extends to other bodily functions, allowing the collective to operate continuously while individual forms cycle through necessary recuperation. The fundamental trade-off demands careful consideration—while the caster gains mobility and presence across multiple locations simultaneously, the dilution of personal power leaves each individual body more vulnerable than the caster would be while whole. Those who master Devitomain must therefore balance the tactical advantages of distributed existence against the danger of reduced individual capability in direct confrontation.

Effects

Effects

Divides the caster’s entire existence equally among the resulting clones, including their status, abilities, bodily functions, magical power, and other measurable attributes. If the caster creates X clones, each clone receives 1/X of every divisible attribute, and any requirement or condition is reduced to 1/X of its original value for that clone. For example, if the original has 100 strength and an action requires 100 strength, creating four clones gives each clone 25 strength while reducing the requirement to 25 for each clone. Thus, the clones are individually weaker, but their proportional requirements decrease alongside their capabilities, preserving the original balance.
