I'm honestly not sure. It's almost like an absurdly powerful Summon Monster spell. And I'd change the duration to 1 day/2 caster levels. It's a little simpler and not much different from a balance perspective.

Well, I'd say it's about as difficult to use as some kind of Planar summoning spell, i. e., it's not that easy to find someone willing to have cast it upon himself (or willing to cooperate with the caster if it has been forced upon him - maybe add clauses that the target becomes immediately aware of the spell and it's effects, and becomes immune to pro-caster Enchantement spells?)
