Conjured Consciousness

Your extensive study into the mind and the origin of consciousness has taught you how to conjure forth an artificial and disembodied consciousness, which serves you and follows your commands. You use your jeweler's tools to bind this consciousness to a crystal, gem, or dragonshard, which then serves as the core for the consciousness. You can use your action to summon forth the consciousness from its core. The consciousness is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands.

You determine the physical appearance of the consciousness, choosing either a tiny floating brain, an orb, or some other simple or abstract form, which surrounds and contains the crystal, gem, or dragonshard used as its core. Whatever the appearance of the consciousness, it is always ephemeral and translucent. The consciousness can then move away from its core, up to a maximum distance of 1 mile, but creatures who can see into the ethereal plane can see a fine, translucent cord connecting the manifestation to its core, no matter the distance it travels. Creatures who can see this cord can attack it, damaging the consciousness as if they had attacked the consciousness directly.

In combat, the consciousness shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take an action in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help, Hide, or Search action.

The consciousness regains 2d6 hit points if the mending spell is cast on the core used to manifest it. If it dies, or you dismiss it as a bonus action, it vanishes, and the core becomes inert. If it has died or been dismissed within the last hour, you can use your jeweler’s tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of the core and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The conjured consciousness returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.

At the end of a long rest, you can create a new conjured consciousness if you have your jeweler’s tools with you and an appropriate crystal, gem, or dragonshard for the core. If you already have a conjured consciousness from this feature, the first one immediately perishes.
