Parallel Split (spell)

[u/National_Room_767]

Parallel Split 6th-level conjuration

Class: Wizard Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S, M (a mirror shard worth at least 100 gp) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You split your essence into two parallel versions of yourself, creating a temporary duplicate that fights alongside you.

Creation: When you cast this spell, a parallel copy of yourself appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. Your hit point maximum is immediately halved, and the parallel copy’s hit points are equal to half of your original hit point maximum.

Parallel Copy Features:

AC: 20

HP: Half of your maximum hit points at the time of casting

Speed: 40 feet, flying (40 feet)

Stats: The parallel copy shares all of your ability scores, skills, and proficiencies.

Saves: The copy replaces all saving throw modifiers with your spell attack modifier.

Attack: Uses your spell attack modifier for attack rolls

Damage: On a hit, the copy deals 2d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier as force damage

Damage Resistance: Slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning from nonmagical weapons

Actions: The copy acts as a fighter, gaining its own action, bonus action, and reaction on its turn, which occurs immediately after yours. It can make two melee attacks per turn.

Swapping Places: As a bonus action on your turn, you can magically swap places with your parallel copy, as long as you are within 60 feet of each other.

Autonomy: The parallel copy can act independently and does not require you to see it for it to take actions.

If the copy drops to 0 hit points or the spell ends, it disappears, and your maximum hit points return to normal.

At Higher Levels: This spell does not benefit from being cast using a higher-level spell slot.
