Scroll of Soul Swapping

The Scroll of Soul Swapping is a dark and powerful magical scroll that was created in the halls of the Institute of Mortality. The Institute is a place where powerful necromancers, warlocks, and other magical figures study the secrets of life and death. The Scroll was initially created as a tool for the masters of the Institute to switch bodies with other creatures or even each other, allowing them to extend their insights and gain new experiences. However, the power of the scroll was soon realized by others, and it was quickly banned from use by the Institute in fear that it would be used against them.

The scroll contains a powerful and complex spell that allows the user to swap their soul with another mortal creature or being for a short period of time. This can be used for a variety of purposes, including espionage, exploration, and even immortality, as the user can simply continue swapping souls with other beings as needed. However, the magic of the Scroll comes with a dark cost. The soul of the caster becomes unstable and vulnerable to corruption, as the act of swapping souls with another being can cause damage to the soul's structure. Additionally, the use of the scroll is considered a grave sin by many, as it goes against the natural order of life and death.

Despite its forbidden nature, there are those who seek out the Scroll of Soul Swapping in order to gain its power and use it for their own purposes. Many tales have been told of those who have fallen to the dark magic of the scroll, and it is said that those who use it risk not only their own souls but the very fabric of the universe itself.

Effect: When this scroll is used, the caster can switch bodies with another mortal creature within 30 feet for 1 hour. The switch is involuntary for the target, and the caster gains all of the target's physical abilities and attributes, while the target gains those of the caster.
