Spin-Off

7th-level Org Design & Process Change

Casting Time: 1 action to announce, though the legal separation takes 6 to 18 months
Range/Area: One division or business unit within your organization
Components: V, S, M (a Form 10, consumed; an allocation of the parent’s existing debt or liability to the new entity, at the parent’s discretion)
Duration: Permanent
Classes: CEO, CFO, Board

You transmute one division of your organization into an independent organization, transferring that division’s employees, assets, and whichever debt or liability you choose to assign it. The new entity’s Solvency is tracked entirely separately from yours from that point on. If it later becomes Insolvent, your organization suffers no Runway or Solvency consequence as a result, regardless of how much of the original liability you assigned to it at the time of casting.

Employees of the affected division may attempt a Tenure saving throw to remain with the parent rather than transferring to the new entity; the caster chooses which portion of the division’s headcount, if any, is granted this option.

At Higher Levels. When cast using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, you may spin off more than one division simultaneously, each tracked as an independent entity, provided the combined transferred debt does not exceed your organization’s remaining Solvency.

Flavor: “This separation will allow both companies to pursue their own distinct strategic priorities with greater focus and agility.” — joint press release; the spun-off company files for bankruptcy protection fourteen months later
