You create a mechanical construct. It manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range and uses the Mechanical Steed stat block. When you cast the spell, choose an environment: Air, Land, or Water. The steed resembles an animal of your choice that is native to the chosen environment, which determines certain details in its stat block. When the creature drops to zero hit points, or the spell ends, it falls apart into scrap metal. 450GP worth of the original materials can be salvaged with 10 minutes of work. Casting this spell again before the spell ends does not require components and renews the duration. When doing so, you can choose a different form for the steed. The steed cannot regain hit points normally, only regaining 4d6 hit points when the mending spell is cast on it.
The steed can accept 2 riders of medium or smaller size, and while mounted on it they benefit from the steeds environmental trait. While you are mounted on the steed, it functions as a controlled mount; It can only take the Dodge, Disengage, or Dash actions or you can use a bonus action to command it to make one Rend attack.
The creature is an ally to you and your allies. In combat, the creature shares your Initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours (unless mounted). It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its movement to avoid danger.
Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. Use the spell slot’s level for the spell’s level in the stat block.
