One of the six seal gems of the Glittergems Vault.

A large hollow ruby with a hole in the top.

Creates Simulacrum

While attuned you fill the hollowed out ruby with the blood of the humanoid or beast you wish to duplicate and place it in the ground. Over 8 hours the duplicate grows out of the ground. The duplicate is a creature, partially real and formed from dirt with the Ruby of Toben acting as the heart, and it can take actions and otherwise be affected as a normal creature. It appears to be the same as the original, but it has half the creature's hit point maximum and is formed without any equipment. Otherwise, the illusion uses all the statistics of the creature it duplicates, except that it is a construct.

The simulacrum is friendly to you and creatures you designate. It obeys your spoken commands, moving and acting in accordance with your wishes and acting on your turn in combat. The simulacrum lacks the ability to learn or become more powerful, so it never increases its level or other abilities, nor can it regain expended spell slots.

If the simulacrum is damaged, you can repair it in an alchemical laboratory, using rare herbs and minerals worth 100 gp per hit point it regains. The simulacrum lasts until it drops to 0 hit points or the Ruby of Toben is removed or you become unattuned to the Ruby, at which point it reverts dust and the Ruby of Toben falls to the ground.

The Ruby shrinks when it creates a new simulacrum and slowly regrows over 30 days to be used again. This happens either in the simularcrum or not.
