Create Gingwatzim

A gingwatzim is a peculiar form of life created by magic. The magic that brings it into being draws on spirit energy from the Ethereal Plane to give the gingwatzim its true form—that of a luminous (but not too bright) sphere of ectoplasm roughly 3 feet in diameter. A newly formed gingwatzim appears as near to its creator as possible and follows its creator’s commands without question, using telepathy to communicate.

A gingwatzim can assume two other forms that are determined by its creator at the time the gingwatzim comes into being. One is an exact duplicate of a Tiny nonmagical object that its creator is wearing or carrying. The gingwatzim other form is that of a specific Tiny beast.

A gingwatzim needs to feed periodically, and they do so using their Energy Drain ability. If they grow hungry, they may attack anyone except their caster and drain their life force.  For every level of exhaustion they inflict with their Energy Drain ability, they are considered fed for another week, with a maximum of six weeks before needing to feed again. A wise summoner does not keep their gingwatzim around for too long, nor do they create too many. A gingwatzim kept from feeding too long may drain their creator or their allies in their sleep if they are not specifically ordered not to do at the moment they attempt it.  

Neither the item to be copied nor the blood of the tiny beast used as components are consumed by the spell, but if an alternative item or beast form is desired from one casting to the next, then that alternative item and/or blood from the other beast must be used instead.
