Conjure Bugs

You summon fey spirits that take the form of insects and appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. Choose one of the following options for what appears:

• Two insects of challenge rating 1 or lower
• Four insects of challenge rating 1/2 or lower
• Eight insects of challenge rating 1/4 or lower
• 10 insects of challenge rating 0

Each insect is also considered fey, and it disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The summoned bugs are friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned creatures as a group, which has its own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.

The GM has the bugs' statistics. Sample bugs can be found below.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using certain higher-level spell slots, you choose one of the summoning options above, and more bugs appear: twice as many with a 5th-level slot, three times as many with a 7th-level slot, and four times as many with a 9th-level slot.
