School of Mangaka

Wizards who study from the school of mangaka learn to wield their magics in a very interesting way, weaving their mana into sketch's on paper to bring forth art that mimics living creatures, the more experienced of mangaka wizards could even make even alter their creations in the middle of summoning. A wizard of this school is never truly alone, as their art is always there to protect them.

Sketch and Ink

Starting at 2nd level you gain proficiency in Calligrapher's Supplies, in addition you gain the power to bring your magical sketch's to life.

After spending at least a minute studying a non hostile living creature you may make a sketch of it in your spellbook, afterwards during a long rest you may spend a number of hours equal to the CR of the creature and an amount of gold equal to the CR of the creature x 25 in materials to ink that sketch, however creatures of CR 11-15 gold cost equals x50 instead of 25, CR 16-20 gold cost equals x100 instead 25, CR 21-25 gold cost equals x 200, and CR 26- 30 equals x400. (You may only sketch one of the same creature in you spell book at any give time, for example you may not have more than sketch of a goblin. )

As an action you can bring one of your inked sketch's to life within an unoccupied space with 5 feet of you, provided there is enough room for the summoned sketch. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and you may control up to one summoned sketch at a time, you regain all expended uses on a long rest.

The sketch returns to the spellbook after 10 minutes, it is reduced to 0 hit points or dismissed as a free action. The sketch uses the stat block of the creature it is mimicking however its hit points become the same as yours and it is easily identified as a copy as it retains it's on paper appearance. The sketch obeys your commands as best as it can. It takes its turn on your initiative. On your turn, you can verbally command the sketch where to move (no action required by you). You can use your action to verbally command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, or Help action. If you don't issue a command, the sketch takes the Dodge action.

If you are incapacitated or absent, the sketch acts on its own, focusing on protecting you and itself. The sketch never requires your command to use its reaction, such as when making an opportunity attack.

The Art of Color and Shading

Starting at 6th level you have learned adding color to your finished sketch's gives your summoned sketch new abilities.

As part of the same action used to summon your sketch you may add one type of color and one type of shading to it giving it added bonuses until it returns to your spellbook, these effects are listed below:

The Final Draft

Starting at 14th level you may choose to give a name to a sketch, allowing it to permanently keep its color, shading and edit bonuses when it returns to the book, however you will no longer be able to change it's color, shading or edit it farther, however you can use your bonus action to summon a named sketch instead of an action when using your sketch and ink feature.
