This spell allows the removal of an object (or organ) from within another object (or a creature), instantly replacing that object (or organ) with another of the same kind in the caster's hands. This works only with objects or organs the caster knows at least some facts about, and he needs to have the same kind of object (even if immeasurably less valuable) as a fresh carving of any kind from a fresh vegetable in his hand at the time of casting but it has to be the carving of a complete original. If the object to be replaced by the replica is within a person that person gains a saving throw versus death magic. In case a vital organ (like a heart, the brain, or the lungs) are transposed, a failed saving throw results in the (almost immediate) death of the creature, unless you replaced it with a living replica. In that case it grafts itself into the place of the original. In the case of an object, it only receives a saving throw (of its creator) if it is magical and within a magical container. Otherwise, it is immediately replaced with the replica. The spell does not offer the caster any protection from corrosive or damaging effects of the replaced object (or organ). This spell can also be used to replace a liquid from within a container or creature: up to one cubic foot per level of the caster. But in that case, the caster needs a fluid which has almost the same coloration (not necessarily properties) as the replaced fluid. Another use for this spell is to replace part of an object within another object. Thus, it can be used to remove the cancerous part of an organ with the help of a replacement part held by the caster. It would thus be possible to replace an organ with a psionic item that simulates the effects of the organ but could also produce some other effects (this effect has been used to implant some psionic objects into the character which had the metamorphosis power plus some other psychometabolic powers to give him an almost virtual invulnerability to energy attacks).
The material component for this spell is either a small leather bag with a large button made of tin sewn on the outside, and a small button made of platinum on the inside, which is inverted in the casting. The bag and buttons are destroyed in the casting. For fluids use a waterproof version of the bag with the fluid on the inside.
Note: if the fluid version is used, the spell does not provide a container for the replaced fluid, so you might want to place a container under the wizard's hands, as that is the place the replaced fluid reappears.
