You abandon your body in favour of another. You touch the body of a humanoid creature that has died in the last day. Your blood wells from your body to engulf the creature, as you abandon your form and assume control of the creature's body as if it were your own. If the body is Huge or larger, you immediately gain 2 levels of exhaustion and there is a 33 percent chance that the spell fails.
When you animate your new body, your original body disintegrates into a puddle of gore. In your new form, your current hit points remain the same, but you assume the hit die and maximum hit points that the creature had in life. Other than your size and maximum hit points, your game statistics remain the same in your new form.
The act of transfusing your blood into another creature is unnatural, and causes the physical body to reject your presence over time. As each day passes, your form decomposes. Your maximum hit points are reduced by 1 hit die per week until you have no hit die left, at which point your body putrefies into a puddle of gore and you are expelled as a pool of blood with 1 hit point. While in this form, you are incapacitated until the blood is poured into the mouth of another dead creature, at which point you can assume control of it as if you had cast this spell again.
If the spell fails, you immediately take 6d12 necrotic damage and gain 1 level of exhaustion. If you die while under the effects of this spell, you cannot be returned to life by any means short of a reincarnate or wish spell.
