Treat - The Self

Fifth of Ars Vitae (The Art of Living) - Spell Series

You lay down a pristine towel, which unfurls and transforms into a door. This doorway leads to a sanctuary that reflects the caster’s personal vision of self-care. The door remains visible and immobile for the spell’s duration.

You and up to eight willing creatures of your choice may enter the space. Any creature that does not enter within 1 minute of the door’s appearance is barred from entering. Once a creature exits, they cannot return.

Inside the sanctuary, guests are guided through an eight-hour sequence of deep rest and recovery:

• Hour 1 – Cleansing Bath: Each creature enjoys a warm, aromatic bath in a private, serene chamber.

The creature is cured of any non-magical diseases. Their clothing and armor are replaced with clean, white garments for the duration.

• Hours 2–4 – Communal Meal: All guests gather at a peaceful banquet table and share a nourishing meal.

Each creature is served a meal personally tailored to their tastes and preferences. The creature does not experience hunger for the next 24 hours.

• Hours 5–8 – Massage and Sleep: Unseen caretakers provide a full-body massage followed by gentle rest in personal chambers.

Each creature gains the benefits of a long rest, even if they would not normally qualify due to recent activity or time constraints.

At the end of the ritual, all creatures awaken fully restored and already dressed in their original clothing and gear, cleaned and polished. The door then folds back into the original towel, which reappears at the caster’s feet, clean and dry.

While inside the sanctuary:

• Creatures are immune to the charmed and frightened conditions.
• Creatures cannot cast spells or take hostile actions.
• Creatures that leave the sanctuary early receive none of the spell’s benefits and may not return.

Only one instance of this spell may be active at a time. Casting it again immediately ends any previous casting. A creature can only benefit from this spell once every 24 hours.
