Astral Projection

9th-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 hour

Range: 10 feet

Components: V, S, M (one jacinth worth at least 1,000 gp and one ornately carved bar of silver worth at least 100 gp per affected creature, all consumed by the spell)

Duration: Special

You and up to eight willing creatures within range project your astral bodies into the Astral Plane. Your material body remains unconscious in suspended animation, requiring no food, air, or aging.

Your astral body appears identical to your mortal form but is tethered by a silvery cord extending from your back. If this cord is cut, you die instantly. Your astral form can freely travel through the Astral Plane and move through portals to other planes.

The spell ends when you dismiss it or when your body or astral form drops to 0 hit points. If the spell ends and your silver cord is intact, you return to your body. If you are returned prematurely, your companions must find their own way back.
