You attempt to banish the target to a random destination far away never to be seen again by natural means. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be banished. On a successful attack the target will instantly disappear, and in its place a different creature of the same or similar (+1/-1) Challenge Rating will appear. Due to the sudden nature of this exchange, your party has a surprise round if you choose to attack the new creature, otherwise the target's reception of this event is up to the discretion of the DM.
This spell can only be used once per long rest and if it is used against the creature that has just been summoned the original creature will return in its place. You will once again have surprise on the original creature.
This spell can also be used by certain spell casting creatures. If a PC is affected by this spell they are replaced by a new PC at the players discretion, created and scaled to meet the party's level. As is with enemy creatures though, if this new PC is hit by the same spell again they are replaced by the previous PC, again scaled to meet the party's new levels.
The NEW creature is determined by the Dungeon Master, the spell caster has no control over what the target is replaced by. The DM determines the DC of the PC's saving throw, for example if this spell is at the request of a player simply make the DC impossible to beat.
