As an action, you touch the piece of jewelry that serves as the material component for this spell to a creature that has died within the last minute. If the creature’s soul is willing and able to return, it becomes bound to the piece of jewelry for the duration.

While the soul is bound in this way, the creature bound to the jewelry and the creature wearing it can telepathically communicate with one another. The spell ends early if the jewelry is destroyed or if the bound creature is returned to life.

A bound soul can attempt to break free from the jewelry if it experiences any emotional, psychological, or physical pain. The creature must make a Will saving throw.

On a failure, the soul cannot attempt to break free for another 7 days.

On a success, the soul is free.
