Bumblebore's Backpack of Getting Carried Through the Dungeon Again

Level (Ill 3, M-U 4)

Range: 13"

Duration: Special

Area of Effect: One Creature

Components: V,S

Casting Time: 7 segments

Saving Throw: Negates

Explanation/Description: Should the target fail its saving throw, the caster summons a backpack upon the target of the appropriate size for the target and immediately teleports into the backpack.  If the target already has a backpack, that backpack and all it's contents switch places with the caster upon teleport.  No matter the new backpack's size, the caster will fit snugly within it, but may peek his head out of the backpack to look over the target's shoulders.  No matter what size the caster is to fit into the backpack his head will be full-size while peeking out.

While riding in the backpack, the caster can neither attack, nor be attacked by the target until the caster wills the spell to end, or until the target leaves the current plane (caster will not follow the target into the ethereal or any other plane of existence).  All effects (both negative and positive) currently affecting (or that come to affect) the caster also affect the target.  All damage dealt to the caster is dealt equally to the target (as well as all healing). The backpack does not add any weight to the target, and indeed they may be lighter if they had a full backpack get replaced by this spell.

Note that while the caster and target can attack, use abilities and cast spells at other targets, they can in no way affect one another.  Also note that the caster cannot steer the target and must go wherever the target goes.

The verbal component of this spell is the phrase "Protect Me!"  The material component of this spell is a scrap of canvas that has spent at least 4 hours in the possession of a Fighter, Ranger, Paladin or Monk.
