Upon arrival , one or two other stored spells were allowed to take effect . Effects . There were at least two versions of this spell that differed mainly in the preparation and casting but had very similar effects .

The conditions could be specific or general , but they had to be unambiguous . They could be as benign as speaking a cryptic word , or as dire as death . Once triggered , the mind , body , and soul of the caster were all transported to the chosen location and reunited if necessary , thus foiling spells such as " magic jar " and " trap the soul " . However , if the caster was dead upon arrival , his or her soul then proceeded to the afterlife from that location . The destination could be on any plane or demiplane that the caster had previously visited . Clothing and other items attached to the body were also transported as long as they weighed no more than 50 lb ( 23 kg ) each . After " evasion " deposited the caster at the chosen location , up to two arcane spells that had been stored within the " evasion " were released as if they had been cast at that moment . Components . This complex spell required much preparation and included the casting of other spells , each possibly with their own verbal , somatic , and material components . Thus , the casting time of " Elminster ' s evasion " was at least 10 minutes and could be longer depending on the spells being stored within for eventual release . The oldest known version required a jewel valued at 5 , 000 gp or more and a pint ( about half a liter ) of the caster ' s blood . This version caused the caster to lose a small portion of their health , which was not restored until the " evasion " was triggered . A newer version required the casting of " teleport without error " in addition to the contingency spells ( and all of their components ) and some quicksilver , an eyelash of a spell - casting creature such as an ogre mage or ki - rin , and some of the caster ' s fresh blood . On top of that , the caster had to have an arcane focus in the form of an ivory figurine encrusted with at least 1 , 500 gp worth of gem s , which had to be carried on his or her person for the " evasion " to work . History . This spell was found in a book that was known as " Elminster ' s traveling spellbook " although the Old Sage was not known to have claimed responsibility for the book or its peculiar habits . " Elminster ' s evasion " was later published in " Volo ' s Guide to All Things Magical " and became generally known to the magical community although it was rare to find it .
