Inanimate Servant

By means of this spell, the shukenja can transform nonliving objects into helpers and servants, who are able to follow his commands and move about. The affected objects have a movement rate of 6, moving by whatever form of locomotion is most appropriate. These servants cannot fight for the caster, but can be used to perform tasks requiring great strength, proficiency, and skill. They are imbued with full intelligence to perform the task at hand and need no more direction than would a common worker. The objects can perform any task in which the shukenja, or a designated foreman, has proficiency (except for tasks requiring artistic skill or judgment). They could assist a master carpenter in raising a building, help a farmer harvest a crop, be recruited to repair the walls of a castle, and so on. Their proficiency in the task is equal to that of the shukenja or foreman.

The material component is a miniature dummy of straw for each servant animated.
