Using arcane techniques, you fuse the gemstones into a worthless conglomerate mass whilst carving out soul pathways, creating a mimicry of your own soul.
The pseudo soul, once created, intrinsically understands your desires and intentions. It has the same mental stats (INT, WIS, CHA) as yourself but lacks your knowledge or skills. As a mimicry of your own soul, the pseudo soul is loyal to you.
The pseudo soul can be placed in any creature that lacks a soul of its own, assimilating into the new body. The assimilation process takes 1 hour during which time the creature must not move.
Once assimilated the pseudo soul gains the physical stats (STR, DEX, CON) of the target creature.
If the assimilated creature dies, the pseudo soul returns to its crystal state, retaining any knowledge or skills it had obtained. It may then be placed within another creature which lacks a soul to assimilate once more.
The pseudo soul is destroyed if its crystal is destroyed or if another pseudo soul is created.
* - (Gemstones worth at least 5,000 gp, which the spell consumes)
