Creation
Within 20 feet you may create a Mimic which looks like a regular chest. This spell requires a mimics eyeball or it's tongue and the Mimic will reveal it's form once triggered. It can be dispelled at anytime. If triggered in battle, the Mimic will join your side until it dies or it is dispelled, however this Mimic will only have +6 health for every level past 4 and it starts at 6 health. It will stop at 30 health. If not triggered in battle, it will try and kill you the same as everyone else.

Posted Apr 21, 20244th level spell for a 6hp Grimlin that may attempt to kill you feels a little lackluster.
The base Statline for a Mimic is not particularly great anyway so it feels like your offering a rather peanelized vairent.
The method of Triggering is undefined too and lastly the Mimic Eyeball and tounge to cast mimic seems.. odd.(like where did the first wizard get a Mimic Eyeball and tounge?)
Historicaly most material components that cost nothing are puns, consider the following.
Flesh to Stone, components: Lime, water, and earth. (i.e. - concrete, coat your enemies in concrete)
Fireball, components: A tiny ball of bat guano and sulfur. (i.e. - gunpowder, just throw a bag of gunpowder at people)
See Invisibility, components: A pinch of talc (i.e. - blow white dust in a room so it sticks to invisible things)
Stoneskin, components: Granite and 250 gp worth of diamond dust sprinkled on the target’s skin.(i.e. - diamond coating to resist abrasion)
I would Sugest a Mirror or Crude drawing of the object or something similar may be a better method.
Also would recomend if it actualy exsists and can hurt people probobly more Conjouration or Transmutation.
