This spell creates a flying weapon. Choose a nonmagical simple or martial melee weapon in range that isn't being worn or carried. The
weapon animates and becomes a creature under your control until the spell ends or until the creature is reduced to 0 hit points.
At the end of the creature's turn, if it is more than 30 feet from you, it returns to being a nonmagical weapon.
As a bonus action, you can mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 30 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 construct continues to follow it until its task is complete.
An animated weapon is a construct with the same statistics as a Flying Sword, but deals the same damage as the weapon animated and
loses its +2 to hit if you are not proficient with that weapon.
The DM has the creature's statistics.
