Animate Construct

This spell creates a construct servant using either Snow/Sand, Dirt, Clay, Ice/Stone or Metal. Choose a nearby material of a Small size within range. Your spell imbues the material with magic, causing it to shape into a Small size construct. The target material becomes a construct of varying quality depending on the chosen material the spell targets.

• Snow/Sand construct: HP 13 (2d8+4) / AC 13 / Speed 30 ft. / +4 Range & Melee attack (1d6+2 Cold/Slashing)
• Dirt construct: HP 22 (3d8+9) / AC 8 / Speed 20 ft. / +4 Melee attacks (1d6+2 Bludgeoning)
• Clay construct: HP 22 (3d8+9) / AC 10 / Speed 30ft. / +4 Range & Melee attack (1d6+2 Bludgeoning)
• Ice/Stone: HP 30 (4d8+12) / AC 16 / Speed 20ft. / +4 Melee attack (2d6+2 Bludgeoning)
• Metal: HP 35 (5d8+12) / AC 18 / Speed 20ft. / +4 Range & Melee attack (2d6+2 Piercing/Bludgeoning)

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). 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.

The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you've given it and goes dormant. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to two creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you animate or reassert control over two additional constructs for each slot level above 3rd. Alternatively when you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can animate a larger construct or choose to improve your current construct into a larger form. This cannot exceed a Large size. Construct HP increases by 9 (2d8) for each size increase and construct damage dice increases from 1d6 (small) to 1d8 (medium) to 1d10 (large)
