This spell grows an inert duplicate of a living creature as a safeguard against death. This clone forms insidea sealed vessel and grows to full size and maturityafter 120 days; you can also choose to have the clonebe a younger version of the same creature. lt remains inert and endures indefinitely, as long as its vesselremains undisturbed.
At any time after the clone matures, if the originalcreature dies, its soul transfers to the clone, provided that the soul is free and willing to return. The clone is physically identical to the original and has the same personality, memories, and abilities, but nane of theoriginal's equipment. The original creature's physical remains, if they still exist, become inert and can't thereafter be restored to life, since the creature's soul is elsewhere.
