While you are on the [[SRD:Astral Plane|Astral Plane]], your astral body is connected at all times to your physical body by a silvery cord. If the cord is broken, you are killed, astrally and physically. Luckily, very few things can destroy a silver cord. When a second body is formed on a different plane, the [[SRD:Incorporeal|incorporeal]] silvery cord remains invisibly attached to the new body. If the second body or the astral form is slain, the cord simply returns to your body where it rests on the [[SRD:Material Plane|Material Plane]], thereby reviving it from its state of suspended animation. Although astral projections are able to function on the [[SRD:Astral Plane|Astral Plane]], their actions affect only creatures existing on the [[SRD:Astral Plane|Astral Plane]]; a physical body must be materialized on other planes.
You and your companions may travel through the [[SRD:Astral Plane|Astral Plane]] indefinitely. Your bodies simply wait behind in a state of suspended animation until you choose to return your spirits to them. The spell lasts until you desire to end it, or until it is terminated by some outside means, such as [[SRD:Dispel Magic|''dispel magic '']] cast upon either the physical body or the astral form, the breaking of the silver cord, or the destruction of your body back on the [[SRD:Material Plane|Material Plane]] (which kills you).
