Choose a spell of 8th level or lower that you can cast, that has a casting time of 1 action. You cast that spell--called the contingent spell--as part of casting Elenna's Greater Contingency, expending spell slots for both, but the contingent spell doesn't come into effect. Instead, it takes effect when a certain circumstance occurs. You describe that circumstance when you cast the two spells. For example, a Elenna's Greater Contingency cast with teleport might stipulate that teleport comes into effect when you come into danger where you would not be able to escape from yourself.
The contingent spell takes effect immediately after the circumstance is met for the first time, whether or not you want it to, and then Elenna's Greater Contingency ends.
The contingent spell takes effect only on target, even if it can normally target others. You can use only one Elenna's Greater Contingency spell at a time.
If you cast this spell on yourself again, or if another person casts this spell on you while you are under the effect of it, the effect of the other Elenna's Greater Contingency spell on you ends. Also, Elenna's Greater Contingency ends if its material component is ever not on your person.
