By means of this spell the caster splits himself into two half sized copies of himself for the duration of the spell. These copies retain the stats, and abilities of the original, including level. Hit Points are diveded evenly, and normal mundane (ie non-magical) items are also duplicated. Magical items and spells are randomly divided between the copies, which may lead to different armour classes. The copies can interact, or act independently of each other, but if one is slain the other must make a saving throw vs spell (Wis modifier) or fall unconcious for the remainder of the duration. When the spell ends the copies merge at the location of one of the copies (Caster chooses), unless one was slain. Spells cast or lost due to death, as well as items used are lost, as is hitpoints lost. Items all returns to the original, unless one copy was slain, whence those items are to be found at that location.
