Little Death

When you cast this spell, you drop to 0 Hit Points and die. At the start of your next turn, you become a Ghost occupying the same space as your corpse. Your game statistics are replaced by the Ghost stat block, but you retain your Hit Points; Hit Point Dice; Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores; and languages.

While you are a Ghost, you can only use abilities detailed in the Ghost stat block. In addition, you add your Proficiency to your attack rolls and the DC of your Ghost abilities.

Your GM secretly rolls 1d8 when you cast the spell. After a number of hours equal to the number rolled, the spell ends. The spell ends early if you are reduced to 0 Hit Points as a Ghost or you take the Magic action to end the spell. If the Material component used to cast this spell remains on your corpse, you return to life with a number of Hit Points equal to half your Hit Points maximum. If the Material component used to cast this spell is no longer on your corpse, you die.

If your body is destroyed or damaged beyond the capacity to survive while you are under the effects of this spell, its duration becomes permanent. You are now a Ghost until your body is targeted by an effect that returns the living to the dead such as Raise Dead or Resurrection.
