Animate Blood
6th-level necromancy (Pale Master,Sorcerer,Warlock,Wizard)
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S, M (a drop of blood)
- Duration: 1 hour
You deal yourself 1 slashing or piercing damage to yourself to shed some blood, which you animate into a tiny humanlike construct called a bloodling.
Bloodlings look like tiny humanoids made out of dark red wax. Bloodlings are tiny, they have a speed of 40 feet, an AC 18, 5 hp, and darkvision out to 60 feet. They are ineffective in combat but have +10 to Dexterity (stealth) checks. They are too weak to carry anything that weighs more than 5 pounds.
As long as the bloodling is within 120 feet you can use an action to look through the bloodling's eyes and give it telepathic commands. You can specify a bloodling. The bloodling will take whatever actions you command it to and nothing else.
When you cast a spell with a range of touch, the bloodling can deliver the spell as if it had been the caster. The bloodling must be within 120 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll. Whether or not the spell is successful, when you have a bloodling deliver a spell in this way, this spell ends and the bloodling is destroyed.
