This variation on the more common invisible stalker calls forth a phantom stalker (see the Fiend Folio for information on this monster) from the elemental plane of fire. The creature obeys and serves the caster in performing whatever tasks it is assigned, most commonly to serve as the caster's bodyguard. However, like its cousin the invisible stalker, the creature resents its servitude and seeks to twist its master's instructions whenever possible, anxious to return to its native plane.
There is one explicit instruction inherent in the summoning of the phantom stalker. If the caster is ever killed with a phantom stalker in his service, the stalker will immediately vanish, and reappear 1d4 hours later, having tracked their summoner's killer from the ethereal plane. The stalkers only gain this ability once their summoner is killed, and the ability vanishes as soon as the summoner's slayer has been tracked.
The material component of this spell is a piece of clear glass.
