This powerful enchantment has two forms.

Combined: The combined form brings into being a 70-foot tall ovoid of glowing blue light directly in front of the caster. On the two rounds following his or her casting of the conjunction, the caster must cast two additional spells (both of the 7th-level or less). If one of these additional spells is an evocation attack spell, the caster remains outside the ovoid and casts the spell into it; the caster moves into the ovoid to cast all other sorts of spells. Both spells are swallowed by the conjunction, which then fades from view, having been charged with the two spells. Thereafter, when the caster repeats the last word uttered in his or her casting of the conjunction, both of the stored spells instantly and simultaneously take effect, operating normally, with the conjunction empowering the caster to achieve normal control over both simultaneously. For example, the caster could launch a fireball spell and at the same time teleport away using a teleport spell. This form of the spell allows the caster to memorize other spells in place of the two absorbed by the conjunction.

Conjoined: The conjoined form of the spell allows the caster to choose any two memorized spells she or he is carrying as Sammaster’s conjunction is cast. On the next round or on any later round in the same turn, if the caster undertakes the normal casting process for the simpler, faster, or lower-level of the two spells selected, both take effect at once, with the caster’s control over them as unimpaired as if she or he were devoting all due concentration to one spell alone. (For instance, casting magic missile would unleash both it and fireball, or casting invisibility would also hurl lightning bolt at one’s foes.) These spells are discharged from memory in the usual way.

If the simpler spell is not cast during the turn, neither of the two selected spells takes effect, but the conjunction (and its link between the spells) is lost. The caster is free subsequently to use the memorized spells separately in the usual manner.

The material component is a hair originally from the head of one of the (current or past) Chosen of Xionx and a faceted clear quartz crystal.
