_9th-Level Abjuration (Ritual)_ **Casting Time:** 1 action (ritual) **Range:** 300 ft. **Components:** V, S, M (a silver focus worth 1,000 gp, attuned at dawn) **Duration:** Until dispelled, triggered, or dismissed **School:** Abjuration **Attack/Save:** None --- ### Description You fracture your magical essence and anchor it beyond conventional space, creating a hidden phantom projection known as the **Arcanum Double**. This projection exists on the outer edge of the Weave, orbiting invisibly at a distance of 120–300 feet from you. The Arcanum Double acts as an external casting locus, allowing your magic to bypass suppression and hostile interference that would otherwise silence you. --- ### Effects **Casting While Suppressed** If you are inside an antimagic cone or antimagic field, you may cast spells as though you were standing at the Arcanum Double’s location, provided the double is not itself suppressed. **Repositioning** As a bonus action, you may move the Arcanum Double up to 120 feet. The double instinctively attempts to remain outside antimagic or suppression effects when repositioned. **Defensive Channel** While you are suppressed, the Arcanum Double may project **shield** or **counterspell** using your reaction as normal. **Capacity** The Arcanum Double can channel up to **three spells per round**. These spells are still limited by your available actions, bonus actions, reactions, and spell slots. --- ### Properties & Limits **Persistence** The Arcanum Double lasts indefinitely until dispelled, triggered, or dismissed by you. **Invisibility** The double cannot be seen or detected except by _true seeing_, _arcane eye_, or similar high-level divination magic. **Suppression** If the Arcanum Double enters an antimagic field or similar effect, it immediately winks out of existence and reforms in its last valid position once the suppression ends. **Disruption** The Arcanum Double can be unraveled by _dispel magic_ cast at 9th level or by _disjunction_. **Singularity** You may maintain only one Arcanum Double at a time. Casting this spell again immediately dismisses the previous double.
