Explanation/Description:
By casting this spell, the cleric creates a pow- erful dweomer in some specially prepared object — a string of prayer beads, a small clay tablet, an ivory baton, etc. This object will radiate magic, for it contains the power to instantaneously transport its pos- sessor to the sanctuary of the cleric who created its dweomer. Once the item is magicked, the cleric must give it willingly to an individual, at the same time informing him or her of a command word to be spoken when the item is to be used. To make use of the item, the recipient must speak the command word at the same time that he or she rends or breaks the item. When this is done, the individual and all that he or she is wearing and carrying will be instantly transported to the sanctuary of the cleric just as if the individual were capable of speaking a word of recall spell. No other creatures can be affected.
The reversed application of the spell enables the cleric to be transported to the immediate vicinity of the possessor of the dweomered item when it is broken and the command word said. The cleric can choose not to be af- fected by this “summons” by making that decision at the instant when the transportation is to take place, but if he or she so chooses, then the opportu- nity is gone forever and the spell is wasted. The cost of preparing the special item (for either version of the spell) varies from 2,000 to 5,000 gold pieces.
