This spell can only be performed once. Over the course of the casting arcane energy is funneled into the circle. The casting culminates with the spellcaster's hand being placed within the middle of the charge circle. At this point the hand is destroyed by arcane energy and a mage hand resembling the caster's hand is linked to the caster. They are able to use this mage hand in the performance of somatic gestures and dispelling it will prevent the caster from using their action to control it for 1d6 minutes.
A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand can be dismissed and recalled as an action. The hand vanished if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.
You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it.
The hand can’t attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 30 pounds.
