This spell creates a crystalline creature with a golden frame that is capable of performing complex tasks. The operative springs into existence in an unoccupied space on the ground within 5 ft. It has AC 13, hit points equal to 3 times your spellcasting ability score, and immunity to all conditions, and it can't attack. It has proficiency in all skills and tools and uses your proficiency bonus when rolling checks. Finally, it can speak, read, and write any languages that you know. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends.
Upon casting the spell, you give the operative an objective that could be reasonable attained by a skilled hireling. The operative performs the objective to the best of its ability so long as it is given the proper materials. Once the operative has finished the objective, it must be paid 2gp for every day it has worked which is considered the material component of the spell. As soon as the sum is paid, the spell ends.
If you cannot pay the operative the required gold, you are considered indebted to the operative and any gold pieces you receive are automatically transfered to the operative until your debt has been settled. Additionally, you cannot cast arcane operative while you are considered to be indebted to an operative.
