You link your life force to an oak tree. The oak tree must be at least 150 years old and cannot be the home of another soul (including a dryad). A magical, invisible tether connects you to the tree, and as long as you maintain the connection you cannot die. If you die your spirit is drawn into the tree. Over the course of the next week a new body is created inside the tree. Once the body is finished it is placed within the closest empty space near the oak tree, and the spell ends. If someone attempts to bring you back to life the body you abandoned suddenly decomposes, violently. If you or the oak tree leave are no longer on the same plane, the spell ends. If you enter a dead magic zone, the spell ends. If the oak tree dies, you immediately die and cannot be resurrected by any means short of a wish or divine intervention. You may use an action to get a general sense of the oak tree's condition. You do not have any sense of what is happening around the oak tree, just the general sense of the tree's condition.
