In a campaign which will hopefully be running for a long time, I've a character with perhaps too much spell access for her own good. Due to the slow-running nature of the campaign, I've been speculating a bit on things she might be capable of doing in the far future that the campaign is expected to eventually reach, and I've come across an interaction where RAW is unclear to my inexpert eyes.
The spells in question are Fission (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/psionic-powers/f/fission/), and Greater Create Demiplane (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/c/create-demiplane/), with special reference to the Timeless planar trait. (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/environment/the-planes#TOC-Time)
To my reading, this interaction is straightforward in most cases, but breaks down in the edge cases in which one of the duplicates is in a plane which is timeless with respect to magic, while the other is not. That is, if the power is manifested on the demiplane, and then either the original or the fissioned copy casts plane shift to leave that demiplane for the prime material. And so I ask:
By RAW, would fission's duration expire if the duplicate were to leave the timeless demiplane while the original stays? Would the duration expire if the original left while the duplicate stays?
Should RAW not have a firm answer to those, what would be your opinion as to how this combination would work under RAMS?
