[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8543978, member: 6915329"] That might be better, if there were a few limitations on the poppet. It counts as the target for when you cast the spell, but may only be able to be used once or once/day (depending on level or the type of material). You can have multiple poppets, even more than one for a single person, though. I'd also include a limitation saying that you can't cast a spell of 6th-level or higher through the poppet ([I]dominate person [/I]is 5th level). Probably the type of poppet would also limit the level of the spell you can cast. If it's a likeness, maybe 1st level. If it's a belonging, maybe 3rd level, and if it's a body part (hair, teeth, blood), then it's 5th level. The other limitation would be that you would have to actually [I]get [/I]the material for the poppet--you can't handwave it away with a component pouch or focus. And you'd have to be on the same plane, but that's a given. Then there could be something like metamagics or invocations of a sort that you can choose that would increase duration, allow you to upcast to higher levels, etc. Witches would still be able to cast spells normally, but they'd be subject to standard range/duration. Although honestly, I'd be tempted to make [I]this [/I]into just a new warlock pact boon and create a series of invocations to go with it. [/QUOTE]
