Animated Sanctum

By casting this spell, you conjure a grand and enchanted sanctuary that combines the luxuriousness of Magnificent Mansion with the animated objects of the Animate Objects spell.

You touch a non-magical key, infusing it with powerful conjuration magic. Upon completion of the spell, the key transforms into a magnificent silver door set within an intricately carved portal frame, radiating arcane energy.

Opening the door leads to an extradimensional space, a breathtaking Animated Sanctum. The sanctum consists of multiple lavish rooms, decorated with exquisite furnishings, fine art, and magical artifacts. The rooms can be customized to suit the caster's desires.

Within the sanctum, you can animate up to six objects of your choice, imbuing them with temporary sentience and the capability to move and act independently. These animated objects follow your verbal commands, and you can use a bonus action to issue orders to all or a specific individual object. The animated objects obey your commands to the best of their abilities.

The objects you animate can be chosen from the Animate Objects spell, determining their size and capabilities. These animated objects remain active for the duration of the spell or until their hit points are reduced to 0. They cannot leave the sanctum.

While inside the Animated Sanctum, you and up to ten allies can rest and find shelter, enjoying the same benefits as the Magnificent Mansion spell. You can use the objects within the sanctum, including animated objects, for assistance or defense as needed.

However, if the sanctum's magic is dispelled or the spell ends, the animated objects immediately lose their sentience and revert to their inanimate forms. The sanctum itself collapses into a mere silver key, falling to the ground.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the number of animated objects you can conjure increases by 1 for every slot level above 7th.
