This spell permits the caster to "replace" a lost appendage of a
willing target with a quasi-real appendage. The prosthesis is
light grey and smoky in appearance, and has no more than 9 STR and
DEX even if the recipient has higher scores (but this does not
improve low scores). In all other ways it may be used like
the original. It has normal sensation, but feels no pain.
Duration is indefinite, but if the appendage takes more damage
than the caster's level it is dispelled. Also, if the
recipient is reduced to 0 or less HP (even if he or she does not
die) the effect is dispelled.
The material components are sawdust and a strand of the target's
hair (or a small amount of epidermal scrapings if hair is
unavailable). Magical items worn on the appendage (rings,
gloves, gauntlets, boots, etc.) will not work on the prosthesis,
but items held function normally unless skin contact is
specifically required.
