Sustaining Sheath functions much like Sheathing, except that the sheath provides not only air to the target, but also magically sustains them, allowing them to go without food and water for the duration of the spell.

The sustaining effect also protects the target against the effects of extreme hot or cold weather. It continues to provide air even if the sheathed target is submerged in water.

The caster can dispel this spell at will.

This spell can be made permanent upon the moment of casting, if both caster and target wish it so. Otherwise, it can be extended uninterruptedly by being cast again. Notice that the target gets a new saving throw against this extension, albeit with a -1, cumulative penalty, due to the effects of prolonged immobilization.
