You are able to animate and puppet a specially prepared doll. The doll must be between 10-14" tall and of at least 200gp value. Any equipment the doll possesses must be included in its preparation. The animated doll is exceptionally nimble and fast. When animated, it springs to life and obeys your commands and uses the animated doll stat block. 

The doll is an ally to you and your companions. It is a creature and may take actions. In combat, the doll shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger.

When the doll is reduced to 0 hit points it falls inert and the spell ends. When this happens it must be repaired before being animated again. This may be done during a short or long rest. A mending spell will restore it completely.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you may animate one additional doll for every level.
