Hi Shostak,
I'm sure that the spell could be tweaked to make it work better. However, it was intended as an evil magic item, so I was not that interested in moderating it.
One thing I forgot to mention above, is if the ball was broke within 5 Mh of the body, the soul went back inside the body. So in one adventure, the players had to recapture their friend's body (it fought them in a dumb golem way), restrain it, care for it, haul it to the evil wizard, fight his minions (including other bodies that they didn't want to kill), and then find and break the ball.
It was a great adventure, but the player's DESPISED that item / spell.
Warm regards, Rick.
