This short ritual coalesces temporary matter into a shape of your choosing that will serve at your mental command. The being forms anywhere within your sight and the spells range and may act immediately on your turn. You may direct it into combat or perform other tasks within its capacity. The conjured being acts as normal during its last round before reverting back to nothing at the end of its turn.

The caster has some personal leeway in what sort of being is produced by this spell. As stated under the correct entry for the spell level the caster may select a number of traits from the corresponding list. The caster may also select two traits of a lower class for one trait of a higher class.

Many magi enjoy pitting their constructs against those of others, and have also created foci that enhance their constructs further. This once serious piece of spellcraft is just as commonly employed as a means of amusement as it is for business.
