Sacrifice of Life (3.5e Spell)
You create a phylactery by killing an innocent. The caster must kill a person of the same type and size as themselves (ie. an elf must kill an elf) for the sole purpose of this spell. The caster must cast the spell and has 10 minutes to kill the target to finish the spell. Once it is done, the body is preserved for one month per caster level. At any point after, if the caster dies, their body is instantly destroyed. The sacrificial corpse is then burnt away, and the caster is reborn at the location of the corpse.
