This spell animates a carefully prepared construct of Tiny size. The object shares your initiative and acts immediately after your turn, it can attack your opponents to the best of its ability.

You can give simple commands to the construct on your turn (no action required) and it will carry them out to the best of it's abilities and understanding.  you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions. You choose the object to animate, and you can change that choice each time you cast the spell. The cost of the body to be animated is 10 gp x its hit points. The body can be reused any number of times, provided it isn’t severely damaged or destroyed.

If no prepared construct body is available, you can animate a mass of loose metal or stone instead. Before casting, the loose objects must be arranged in a suitable shape (taking up to a minute), and the construct’s hit points are halved. An animated construct has a Constitution of 10, Intelligence 5, Wisdom 3, and Charisma 1. Other characteristics are determined by the construct’s size as follows.
