You touch one Tiny, nonmagical object that isn’t attached to
another object or a surface and isn’t being carried by another
creature. The target animates and sprouts little arms and legs,
becoming a creature under your control until the spell ends or the
creature drops to 0 hit points. See the stat block for its statistics.
As a bonus action, you can mentally command the creature if it is
within 120 feet of you. (If you control multiple creatures with this
spell, you can command any or all of them at the same time,
issuing the same command to each one.) You decide what action
the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or
you can issue a simple, general command, such as to fetch a key,
stand watch, or stack some books. If you issue no commands, the
servant does nothing other than defend itself against hostile
creatures. Once given an order, the servant continues to follow
that order until its task is complete.
When the creature drops to 0 hit points, it reverts to its original
form, and any remaining damage carries over to that form.
At higher level
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you
can animate two additional objects for each slot level above 3rd. |
