You imbue the energy of your breath weapon with coherence, mobility, and a semblance of life. Spend a use of your breath weapon attack and roll its damage, which immediately takes animate form and attacks whomever or whatever you designate. The rolled damage is the hit points of the animated breath. The spell only works on breath weapons that deal acid, cold, lightning, poison, or fire damage.

The armor class and hit point bonus is listed in size order; tiny, small, medium, large, huge.
