Create Clay Golem

You begin the rigorous process of creating a clay golem. You filter your magic throughout a period of 30 days without interruption and keeping a manual of clay golems in hand. If you require sleep, you must do so for no longer than 8 hours. As you are casting this spell, you do not gain the benefits of a short or long rest nor gain any penalties for any lack of sleep. You also use this time to gather materials to construct your golem.

Once the duration period has finished, the book in your hand is consumed in eldritch flames, and your 5th level spell slot is finally expended. Within 1 hour of your golem's creation, you must follow up with casting another spell of 5th level (such as animate objects, awaken, geas, hold monster, planar binding, raise dead, or telepathic bond) targeted at the golem, using the ashes of the manual as the material component. Failing to do so causes you to receive 6d6 psychic damage, and the golem will become permanently hostile to you the moment it becomes animated.

Should you succeed, the golem will be under your control, and it will understand and obey your spoken commands until it either dies or is destroyed.
