Impersonation (Wizard Spell)

This spell must be cast upon a willing sub­ject, who immediately assumes the appearance of a person of his choice. The subject becomes the same height, sex, and race of the target per­son selected, even speaking with the same voice, and gesturing with the same manner­isms-the impersonator is indistinguishable from the original in all outward appearances.
However, the impersonator does not acquire the original's memories or abilities, and cannot automatically speak the original's language. Furthermore, if the impersonator does anything that is out of character for the original, any­body present who knows the original is allowed a saving throw vs. spell. Those making a suc­cessful save see through the illusion and real­izes that an impostor has taken the original's place.
The material component is a drop of blood, lock of hair, or cherished possession belonging to the original individual.
Notes: Uncommon for illusionists; other­wise rare (Legends & Lore).
