Bloodstone's Frightful Joining

You unleash dark necromantic energies, causing a terrifying fusion between two creatures. Choose two willing creatures within range that you can see. The chosen creatures must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they are bound together in a frightful joining. On a successful save, the spell has no effect.

While bound, the creatures share a psychic link and their fates become intertwined. The following effects occur:

• Shared Hit Points: The creatures share a pool of hit points equal to the combined maximum hit points of both creatures. Damage taken is subtracted from this shared pool of hit points. If the shared hit points reach 0, both creatures fall unconscious and are dying.

• Shared Resistances and Immunities: The creatures gain the combined resistances and immunities of both creatures. If one creature is immune or resistant to a damage type and the other is not, the combined creature becomes resistant to that damage type. If both creatures are immune to a damage type, the combined creature becomes immune to that damage type.

• Shared Abilities: The combined creature retains all abilities, proficiencies, and spellcasting abilities of both creatures. However, actions and bonus actions are shared, and the combined creature can only take a single action and a single bonus action per round.

• Mind Link: The creatures can communicate telepathically with each other, even if they do not share a common language.

• Duration: The frightful joining lasts for the duration or until it is ended prematurely by you using an action to dismiss the spell, the shared hit points reaching 0, or if one of the creatures is removed from the spell's range.

Once you cast this spell, you can't do so again until you complete a long rest.

Bloodstone's Frightful Joining enables wizards to forge a nightmarish bond between two willing creatures. By merging their essences, the spell creates a combined entity with shared hit points, resistances, immunities, and abilities. This powerful spell can turn the tide of battle, allowing the combined creature to draw strength from the strengths of both original creatures. The psychic link between them enables seamless communication and coordination.

However, this joining comes with risks. If the shared hit points reach 0, both creatures fall unconscious and are on the brink of death. The wizard must carefully manage the combined creature's actions, as it can only take a single action and bonus action per round.

Bloodstone's Frightful Joining represents a formidable and intricate spell that requires the cooperation and trust of the participating creatures. Wizards who wield this spell demonstrate their mastery over necromantic forces and their ability to manipulate life itself.
