Small trinkets come to life at your touch. Choose a small or smaller object within range that is not being worn or carried. The target animates and becomes a creature under your control until the spell ends or until reduced to 0 hit points.
An animated object becomes a type of small or smaller beast appropriate to its original form, determined by your DM, and gains any and all abilities and attributes of its new form. When the animated object drops to 0 hit points, it reverts to its original object form, and any remaining damage carries over to its original object form.
As a bonus action, you can mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 500 feet of you. You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.
