Soul Link

An enchantment which creates a psychic bond between the caster and an artificial personality (one bound in an artifact). The empathic bond is such that any harm that befalls the caster is also experienced by the personality as well. If the caster feels pain, the personality feels pain. If the caster dies, there is a good chance the personality "dies" as well.

If the caster is attuned to the enchanted artifact, his death automatically destroys the personality residing in the artifact, real or artificial. If the caster dies while not attuned to the artifact, artificial personalities test against Egox2 (MS) or Ego (CS) to survive the trauma. Real personalities bound in the item, or copies of real personalities, test against Willx3 (MS) or Willx2 (CS) to survive. Destruction of the artifact (and personality) throws the caster into Aural Shock for (20 - Aura) hours.

Duration of Soul Link is permanent if cast as the artifact is being constructed and indefinite otherwise.
