Animate Construct
Animate Construct is a 1st-level transmutation available to Wizard.

Deep Magic: clockwork This spell animates a carefully prepared construct of Tiny size. The object acts immediately, on your turn, and can attack your opponents to the best of its ability. You can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions. You choose the object to animate, and you can change that choice each time you cast the spell. The cost of the body to be animated is 10 gp x its hit points. The body can be reused any number of times, provided it isn't severely damaged or destroyed. If no prepared construct body is available, you can animate a mass of loose metal or stone instead. Before casting, the loose objects must be arranged in a suitable shape (taking up to a minute), and the construct's hit points are halved. An animated construct has a Constitution of 10, Intelligence and Wisdom 3, and Charisma 1. Other characteristics are determined by the construct's size as follows.
